The Superior Love

In the present modern world,

Very often "Love" is mixed

With love for lust, a passion,

Lo, what a narrow interpretation?

Is love at first sight a real one?

Does it  not end in infatuation  

In most of the cases known,

Or what in the screen shown?

What does the real love stand for

In the words of our Creator?

"Love they neighbour, I love thee"

That's what, with love, says He.

Love in the highest sense

For the world, what it means?

Isn't that love for the Almighty

From the weakest to the mighty?

Love for God, a divinity.

Love for mankind, an affinity.

Love for the world, a humanity.

Love for virtue, an austerity.

Love for self, an egoism.

Love for country, a patriotism.

Love for lust, a veritable passion.

Love for animals, a compassion.

Love for children, an affection.

Love for wealth, a possession.

Love for hate, an aversion.

Love for vice, a degradation.

That which comes from a heart,

But not from one's lips apart,

And that melts another heart

Is the real love, to say in short.

The wagging tail shows dog's love.

The fondling touch reveals cat's love.

In the world of life, is there one

With no love for any creation?

The word "Love" means not

Ordinary body love, of what

The people of passion meant,

But comes from every noble heart.
