As a rule, it is imperative that we conclude by the source of our introspection where we should look
And the issue, whether partially or fully understood is that we cannot be defined by any such words that we speak
Truly, and most importantly, is the ability to decipher whether we actually love for the sake of loving
Or we make love for ourselves inside to fill the gap of guilt from the words we speak

Surely we understand that to define ourselves by one person is fruitless
And infinitely we shall find it to be less fulfilling than having someone to hate, let alone love
But we, as beings, press on in entirety
Supposedly hoping that we cannot be defined by anything other than our own merit

But let us for a moment be shaken by the ideals we pretend to preach
In churches, temples, or the like
The idea that we should love for the very sake of loving
Lest we be cast down without love ourselves

But we, also as beings, knowingly shun that which we believe can be hurt
And we, furthermore as thinkers, convince ourselves that it is a matter of ends justifying our means
That by some grace of God, wonder, or mind
We shall somehow find absolution of some kind in anything but the sake of our fellow man

And you may believe you know which of your fellow man to forsake and which to love
That such a choice be easy because you have such a thing as morality and justice decided upon
But you'll find that you, just like everyone you hold dear near you
May just burn for your crimes as well

So, without a time or a function of such a time
I urge that judgement be stalled and forsaken
That you, all of you, with words you believe express your feelings in the quaintest of ways
Be chastised for your inability to truly understand one another

Open your mind to a world without the contestations and observations that anger places upon an already sinking world
And be affirmed that your heart shall, without stall, change and be changed by the decision to love and be loved in return
But we must act fast to counteract the poison that we have amassed
Before it poisons and pollutes the water hole and thus the minds of those in line to take the world further

Are we defined by what we speak? Or is it merely a damning consequence of our of god forsaken pride?
