Love Conquers All --

And Then It Exploits, Oppresses, Tortures, and Enslaves All
Prior To Committing Genocides

"Approximately 300,000 years ago, modern humans appeared on Earth
with love in their hearts."
-- humanity,
300,000 years of love later

I must confess not loving any child,
each being, by and large, a boob or brat,
nor love I any beast within the wild,
or any neighbor's cat or welcome mat --
No love feel I for yet the sewage rat,
the neo-Nazi group, the Ku Klux Klan,
the cowboy with, or even sans, a hat,
the Taliban or, worse, the Christian man --
No loving fan am I of one sports fan,
avenging gods with swords on high above,
those little engines still that think they can,
or all who solace seek in acts of love --
yet Reason Sound commands my heartless brain
hard strive to cause no sentient being pain.

as opposed to
compassion, care, and love for one's own

a revolving helios sonnet spenserian satire menippean on
the vast orgies of love among all our mothers and fathers ancestral --
for just look at the children they produced

august, 2023 -- yet underground no loving poets care for glory more
than for some losing poet all true love and deep adore
