(127—129) Works of Love

 

Love is the Fulfillment of the Law

 

Illusions of Love

 

How do we penetrate the illusions

That are love in our daily context?

It takes no time to form delusions

From what big thing is next

We can take so very long

To see through these deceptions

So we will know the world quite wrong

Because we see through false perceptions

 

There is nothing so very easy

To be social and to go astray

While our lives can feel just breezy

Our real love will go away

For love is a place of difficulty

Fraught with transformation

We are challenged in all our faculties

To achieve love's revelation

 

When we question our pretentiousness

To praise as love our social ease

Which is praised in power's speciousness

And not to be believed

Love is not subordination

It's no species of abasement

That is a state of detestation

And then love is in its banishment

 

Without God's love we have one desire

To live in dust and worship master

Thus to love's illusion we aspire

And make of love disaster
