Dangling Four Letters
The Power Of Love
The intoxicating nectar of love pierces through even the toughest hearts. That’s why we flaunt the four-letter word around like it’s the secret to unleashing the peaceful world order we crave.
Compassion and caring for your fellow man is the pinnacle of displaying you’re a kind-hearted decent human being.
We shout Love from all corners of the world.
But alas, amidst the four letters lies reality. In reality those four letters are dangling by strings. Swaying to and fro, in attempt to persuade you to conform, consent, and buckle to the will of the one who holds the strings.
A mother. A father. A teacher. A lover. A spouse. A sibling. A friend. A leader. An idol. So many dangle the promise of sweet love.
To bask in the golden arms of acceptance and protection promises so much. A wishful fantasy.
In reality, the strings will sway. Sometimes they become still only to eventually sway again.
So much power in four letters.
