Stupid Cupid..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

one of the things you
can not choose is love

love has
made you stupid

the heart reigns supreme
as the unreasonable king
yet providing the body with
so much pleasure


you threw everything away
just to get love

you broke your horn (and lost your defenses)
cut your tail (and lost your direction)
your mouth gaped (and so the flies came in)
your tongue got no
taste (dipping its tip to filth)
you eat the flesh (raw like a beast in the forest)
and threw the bones (and nothing is left
for your future hunger)

you erased your great
name from the roll of
integrity
just to follow your
stupidity.
