The Void

Filling a void with darkness

is like filling veins with dead blood.

You will not be satisfied.

It is hardest to love

openly and honestly,

freely and wholeheartedly.

Yet love can be the most rewarding action.

It is also the most fulfilling

to love and to be loved.

If we all strived for these

would there be war?

Life is more complicated.

People envy what others have.

I wonder if it would be so conflicting

if everyone found their soul mates.

Would rape, murder, greed, envy, theft, cheating, malice, torture, terrorism, and

disrespect still thrive?

The system cannot be perfect

except perhaps in Eden.

Humanity throws away good

like a filthy piece of rubbish.

I wish everyone could know real love.
