Love Is Not Sold And Purchased (Doris Cornago In Her Poem As Heart Bellows' Note Asks And I Reply)

Rating: 5.0


In the poet's notes,
she writes,
Who are you?
What do you value most?
What will you pay to have this thing of most value?
As you read this poem,
reflect on these relevant questions and perhaps,
the world will be a little better for one human finding his way.

I am a man.
I value love.
Love conquers love,
it's not sold and purchased.
The world is better in love
but casualties in the conquest of love
were too much!
Leave the rest of the too much,
the lover was declared a traitor of love!


Warriors and conquerors with their hate and greed
were glorified and their statutes are on the roundabouts,
I see their memoirs everywhere.
It's easy to purchase hate,
yes,
it's sold and purchased.
No holy war is needed,
nobody will crucify you.
To promote hate and to rule the world,
you need only resources to develop deadly weapons
don't be afraid of the counter attacks
you'll not be required to use these weapons
fear of deadly weapons is itself a mental terror!
So the worry of a counter attack is uncalled.

I would like to think that I understand the concept of love. The things assumed by many of 'ordinary' people and my peers, necessarily cause me to consider. I have no current conclusion.
