Love in the western world is a topic clearly undefined

It changes through emotions, ideologies and the passages of time

It has no real definition for us all to live 

We just blindly accept the status quo of how we think we should give

They say it can be blind and hurt sometimes

It can be mean then nice, obnoxious then kind

They says it makes fools who will do anything to have it

Some say its unreachable yet they continue to try to grab it

Some say they are through with love because its just not real

Some just think they are in love because the moment of how they feel

Love is supposed to last forever, till death do us part

Maybe I am wrong now that I look at all the loving families torn apart

The say love must be confirmed by signing a piece of paper at the local courthouse

But what the hell does a courthouse know what love is all about

Some people fall in love because of a physical attraction

Others say their in love after having some good sexual action

some say they find love through time spent, passion and affection

Others just use love with no control in every dam direction

They say this love can’t run out like a running deep sea ocean

A spell of an angry witchery that takes your mind with her potion

One says he loves me because he always beats me then fucks me

Another says its love because of the material things he treats me

This love is found in domestic violence, fight then makeup through sex

It’s a mysterious thing that has peoples mind controlled by a hex

This Love make some open their legs get pregnant by men who don’t care

That she will be a single mother, a whore to society, struggling on welfare

People use this love in jesus because they want you to believe

But the minute you reject him, that love from them suddenly leaves

You can love me so much that you want to force me to change my ways

Maybe it was love when all those indigenous cultures were sent to their genocidal graves

This love has people crying, sleepless, fighting and killing

But no matter how horrible this love may seem, everyone is willing

What is the measure of this love the depths and its name

The diversity is expressed seems to be an insane, lame game

You fell in love with her body, she was sexy, perfect and tight

But it fades away when she gains weight and they say you are not fair or right

But what if I was a nice man that you loved when you met me

And then I became abusive, would you still love and stay with me?

If you answer no that question, then yes love can change

Human behavior truly can dictate how this love is rearranged

No such thing as accepting a person of how they truly are

Because with this love, contradictory desires gets no one very far 

If what two people fell in love with in the beginning, shouldn’t it remain until the end

But people manipulate this love and that’s how an enemy is created out of friends

This love booms the economy, a price to be paid

Bankrupting, making people crazy and driving many to their graves

Like electricity with no conductor, as dangerous as that could be

This love is the shock that’s entrapped everybody

Its defined by gods, cults and religions

 It comes in many forms, yet its one in a million

You can love me one day, and betray me the next

This undefined love has the whole world perplexed

We all love each other, as far as we can see

But you never hear about true love being accompanied by responsibility

People give this love and it seems to have adverse  affects everybody else

But that’s price we pay when we cant find the definition to give love to ourselves..

So how can I say I love you, at this moment and this time

If I have been taught by a world who has left love undefined
