Battered Soldiers
June 6, 2014
I have been a victim of Love.
More often one of lust.
But Love does more than victimize.
Love does more than wound It's victims.
Love debilitates.
Love is like the venom in cobras.
It inherently stuns the victim.
Emotionally inert, the victim suffers voluntarily.
Even if the victim tried to fight,
Love would surely conquer.
In a war with Love,
Every participant is a casualty.
But lust,
Lust is weak.
Lust is temporary, unimportant,
But it is faster.
Love is a war,
Lust is a battle.
Love leaves all with anguish,
Lust only leaves cutaneous scrapes.
