The Technology Of Love Poem by Romella Kitchens

Nothing is of purpose in this world but love.
Love has the ultimate value.
It is a tool given to us by God.
Man who does not understand love is unfaithful to his God,
his wife, his children and will leave them all.
He will kill other men violently with no notion there should
be mercy.
And, womankind may think she differs but will do much the
same, saying. 'My wrongs are minute. '
But, women and men are equals in all actions better or worse.
The abandoned child goes to the streets because there was not
love, when 'the children' is the embodiment of love if not
contaminated by abuse or evil...
No matter whether the grown see that truth or not.
The seas, the animals...All suffer without general, contributory,
wise non-physical love.
We have a world in which people kill and enslave children...
Kidnap men and make them work as slaves until they die
in the mines.
We have a world in which brutal mandates rip away the innate
liberties of other human beings for profit or violation daily.
We have a world in which the soil of many lands is bloody
from civil dispute and then bloodied again by wars with outside
forces.
Many see love as a superfluous abstraction, an efface of nebulous
letters floating away.
Yet, love is as concrete placing of rice and bread in the hands of the hungry
as burying the dead, as tending the cancers and wounds of the
sick. It is not abandoning the aged but making their lives count.
As you age, look at yourself in the mirror and see the lines
and fissures of what lacking love has done to you.
Love is not antiquated, embarrassing or pointless.
Of all the things most of mankind does currently, it is the newest
technology.
It is the latest untried 'technique'.
All other technology will rust or be surpassed.
Love has the extrinsic, volubility to extrapolate and continue.
Love runs on the perfect energy source into infinity and
never necessitates recharging.
