                                 Love or greed

                                                  -Daniel tondikatti

The new world where i live,

The world with just its own need.

Where love is nothing more than a weed,

And greed is what the life does lead.

Long in my childhood i did hear,

That for love men and women did tear,

And now i see,

Where its become nothing much but just a game that easily does flee.

What is this love?

Where i see a thousands give their lives.

For something that was just LIES.

Why is this a world like this?

Where mother's love is a duty,

And father's love is some just fun.

Why is this world like this?

Where the fake love and emotions,

Mean much more than the parents love and affection.

Why is this world like this?

Where love is just greed,

And something that is kept just to fulfill its own pleasurable need.

Why is this world’s love like this?

Where sister's and friends love is just a dream,

While the world sees nothing just hatred for its own creed.

Why is this world's love like this?

Where money and power for love is shown,

And the true feelings for someone is just thrown.

Why is this world’s love like this?

Where trust and hearts are breakable,

And the greed for money and pleasure is just unmeasureable.

And now i question myself,

Where its this heroic true love that i heard about,

Is it lost in this greedy demonic world?

Or was it something that was just poetic,

As i have never seen it in this demonic real world.

Or was it just for stories,

Or is it lost somewhere is man's memories.

Now i'm scared to believe in love,

As i see it just fly away like a dove branch to branch making nests of fake love,

Lost somewhere in this greedy world,

That most men believe is something called true love.
