You Call It Love
Breathe in your beliefs,
so called organic thoughts
fill you falsely.
Pollution of hollow words
spill out the crack of peeled lips
and tie down you ignoble tongue.
Conflict is much too enticing
for you to simply let sands of peace
settle below still water.
A drama you crave
drives you persistently
to stir violent waves.
Of common follies,
you’re most famously known for greed.
Insensitively outlining tears with your gaze
that steadily run down the cheeks
of those you say you love.
The corners of your smirk lift up
towards glowering eyes
in satisfaction with your progress.
Your family falls to pieces at your feet,
just how you pictured it to be.
Manipulation is the ringmaster
to your skillfully mind-convulsing games.
Reduced to desperation and survival instinct,
victims feebly dance to your whim.
Never to be set free,
they will never find liberation
from your schematically inflicted insanity.
You call it love.
