the way of the world

© 2008 Franklin Perso

We are all born alike,
created in love, conceived as a blessing.
But the hatred of the world usurps our beauty
leaving lustful, voluptuous, vultures
in our stead.

Is the love we receive a gift out of truth?
Or does obligation slip resent into play?
Mother loves her baby
Groom loves his bride
I question these bonds:
for mankind’s too naive

Life is a downward spiral to death.
Starting strongly in love,
growing first- before waning
leaving space for time to take it’s course.
And hatred feasts n the ageing souls
who’s love has been spent.

Such, is the way of the world
