Love Is Unilateral Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

To long to belong to someone is love.
To love is to please someone and feel good.
To get love in turn is to feel self-worth.
To be worth loving is love of the peak.

Love is embedded to sustain the race.
One love is to mate and to reproduce.
The other love is to bring up the offspring.
Love is thus born of sex or sympathy.

Hormones play a role in the sexual love.
Love across the sex is a magnetic pull
That defies the fidelity imposed.
One side love is not inferior either.

Parental love is strong and instinctual,
And has a sacrificial tendency.
It stays if reciprocated or not.
Mother is the means for the transition.

It is male that falls in love with females,
Who play the role of receptors in love.
It is mother that pours love on her kids,
Who play the role of receptors in care.

The race sustains without a gratitude.
Woman lacks it for the love poured by man.
Children lack it for the parental care.
Love yet passes down through generations.
