(23) Works of Love
Part One--I--Love's Hidden Life and Its Recognizability by Its Fruits
"For each tree is known by its fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush." Luke 6:44
Technology and science
Are both great temptations
So we fall into compliance
And are trapped in self-deception
They take our senses as totality
The material our sole condition
When our love is the true reality
By the most divine admission
When technology is all definitive
We surrender all our trust
To what is proven evidentive
Where kinesthesia is a must
But love is not so tangible
So it ceases to exist
Thus life becomes quite terrible
And our false beliefs persist
It is far better to believe in love
And be badly disappointed
Then to fall to a victim of
A belief that is so disjointed
The loss of love is irredeemable
Love is one with the eternal
To surrender that's unthinkable
And really quite infernal
Love's life may be hidden
But its fruits we recognize
When the best of life is given
Then love is not disguised
