A Love Manifesto.
a simple idea.
a theory meant to erase confusion.
we have, instead, become
unsatisfied. thirsty. hungry
for something more.
no idea, no fraction of reality
can be simplified like this.
no concept can possibly be
controlled. reduced. minimized
into something so
uncomplicated. basic. straightforward.
out of the utter chaos
and selfish absurdity of human
nature and theory,
we have stolen a gift
so pure. so beautiful.
and constructed something
unrecognizable. we have
taken what is not ours
and reformed it into something
“better.”
starving for our legalistic
limitations, we’ve left ourselves
with LESS.
laws and limits.
what if we reverse our thinking?
attempt to escape from our
created refuge.
No. reverse that.
allow this irresistable ferver to flow
through and beyond our
locked gates.
adopt hope.
allow hope to saturate
our dusty arid hearts.
drench us with hope.
out of fear, we’ve constructed
limits of containment, identifying it
as a makeshift refuge.
do we not realize we’ve created a
refuge for a refuge?
we cannot control what
is meant to control us.
let this simple idea
lead us beyond our
created boundaries to the
unknown boundaries of ourselves.
This simplistic idea of hope.
This simplistic thought of love.
