Do Not Love.

Do Not Love.

Do not love your parents,

To push them into the pockets of

Possessive self-pity;

Do not love your spouse,

To surrender each other’s self- esteem.

Do not love your children,

At the cost of their character.
Do not love your siblings
To set ablaze the serene maternal cord.
Do not love your friends
To unlock their cherished mood of privacy.

Do not love  your religion,

To reach the frenzied peak of fanaticism.

Do not love your country,

To become a zealous xenophobe.

Do not love yourself,

To step up the I over everybody else.
