Love

The sweetest thing in this world, but one we often fear.
It cripples any amount of confidence.
It breeds irrationality.
It feeds on our time and energy.
It has dodged all attempts at explanation.
It defies the desire for self-preservation.
It weakens us, makes us vulnerable.
It fuels the economy, especially in February.

Yet, on a pedestal it is placed.
It pervades all cultures and religions.
It is the ultimate good in a world of evil.
It is the one thing everyone searches for.
It favours neither the rich nor the poor.
It smiles kindly only upon the dedicated.

Why are we such fools for love?
