Unconditional Love
Is benevolence the other
side of evil?
From whose eyes,
whose lenses,
the right lens, or the left lens?
From the standpoint
of a woman, a man,
or them?
Is it right for you,
for me, for civilization?
Would I die for my children?
Of course!
Would they die for me?
I don’t know.
Does it matter?
What matters most
is the heart,
the gut, and their
thousands of neurons
striking a dance,
inviting the brain
to dance, just like
in the old days
of chivalry, manners,
etiquette and love.
Will the brain
accept the dance?
Will it be
waltz, tango,
ballet, or samba?
Will the dance
be a trio or a duo?
Who will dance?
Those without shoes,
food, water, sanitation,
or those donned
in their satin
dresses and suits?
Only time
will tell.
