MODERN DAY LOVERS

Some people just love to rush in,
"Where angels fear to tread";
Falling in love with unsure hearts.
Like scavengers are they misled.

Liberal views, liberal life, liberal love,
Acquaintances become fast friends;
"Friends" or buzzards circling above?
Then happiness -- when, where, how?

Marrying and divorcing one time too much,
Always deceiving themselves;
Dating, two-timing...for "harmony"
Cheating, seducing -- sex-hungry!

In their hearts and minds are ideals
Based on just carnal needs;
They marry, remarry, have boyfriends,
Self-gratification for the vitals...

Every human has just one heart,
And one heart can love but one,
Be it man, woman, pet or God...
...The truth from the very start....

How lust-filled 'Delilahs' seek 'hot men"
How soon they spread out their legs,
To enjoy and share shrieks and groans,
After which their 'hunt' starts again...

Family values have been eroded,
The Commandments forgotten;
This is the age of full freedom,
With lust as love shrouded.

Well said

My dear friend, I cannot agree more, there is such a fine line between love and lust, and unfortunatley it is the later which blatantly churns out from the so called entertainment modes we have these days. The entire world is the grip of this fever. The media virus makes people watch, people accept and then put it to practice. We are far from the norms here my friend, we are the misfits because we disagree.
Well done

Marrying and divorcing one time too much?..........

should I take offense a wee bit here? laughs. Does this line not apply to thee too Sir Poet as ye were married and since divorced hoping to one day marry again yourself? So does thee not thyself fall into this, um shall we say, 'unintended category'? winks. Am just a wee bit curiouser here than I, a fellow poetess probably should be but I had to pose to you this little question all the same. You know who!............ so why type it?
