A Time for Love



Why
Are "great minds"
Sought
To define for the world 
Love? 

Impeccable articulation
Unassailable intellect
 Crafted
Our history's
Darkest chapters 

The greatest heart
Might belong
To someone
Thought to be
"Functionally illiterate"

Why 
Would it be presumed
That the most
Powerful purveyors of love
Have come and gone?

Why  
Are  Opportunities
To love
Spent
Screening, categorizing, scrutinizing
Determining
 Situational appropriateness

Who decided 
Love 
Is a Many Splendoured Thing
and then
Wrote "The book of Love"
To confound and complicate

Why 
If love heal all hurt
Is 
Hurting
Seemingly  
The overwhelming choice

Love thy neighbour
Return to Love
Only Love
Love is my Religion
All You Need is Love
You are love
Love

Enough rhyme
Plenty of reason
Outlines & paradigms
Great minds 
Must unite 
With courageous hearts
