| Love... Illusions... Freedom and Beasts |
| Playing 'foolsey' with another Is so easy to do... But it's not so easy to con Yourself When we say "I Love you" Do we really mean "I Own you"... That we are compelled to Control To Possess another's body Their Mind... even their Soul How can a loved one Choose to love in return... When they must love In return The Passion of Love cannot Be purchased with security And velvet chains What is it among our fears Our insecurities... our self-image That screams against our loved One's excitement and joy and Passion of loving yet Another If we truly cared and were Concerned for our loved one's Happiness... should we not be Happy when they are happy... Impassioned ? We know from our experience The Passion of Love cannot Be purchased with security And velvet chains Economists have a term called "Zero Sum Game"... it means That among scarce resources'... One may only win at the Expense of another's loss |
| But we know in our minds... Our hearts... that Love - Joy Good Fellowship - Empathy Excitement - Passion... Are not scarce resources We know that the capacity For those feelings exist in Unlimited supplies in the souls Of each and every individual Regardless of past training From life and experience We also know in our essence The Passion of Love cannot Be purchased with security And velvet chains Where within us does this Beast called Jealousy live? From where does it arise? How do we kill it... forever If you truly love someone... Let them go free If they return... they also love If they don't return... Then the love was all just a Dream... a hopeful fantasy The Beast lives within us All of us... For genuine love to exist The Beast must be terminated Only we can kill our Beast If we cannot... then we kill Our souls... we kill our love We squander our lives Chasing silly... foolish illusions We know from our life... The Passion of Love cannot Be purchased with security And velvet chains |
