Who Teaches Us What Love Is?
Who teaches us what love is, what it means?
Who? No one. Many try, but none of them
Succeeds. Some say it’s like quick benzedrines
Without inhalers needed. Bethlehem
Is touted as another meaning of
This principle or feeling—whatever.
In this proposal Calvary is love,
The birth and death bound in one endeavor.
Philosophers trot out their thoughts and words
From Plato to the end of time and pop
Songs formulate love as tunes of trapped birds
Vibrating in want of a man on top.
Some say that friend or brother love is best.
Why teach us what we learned at mother’s breast?
