LOVE
Love is a feeling
Which involves your whole being
It is never in parts
That we love somebody.
Love is so possessive
When someone leaves you
Nothing is left behind
Except a carcass
It burns like a candle
And sends soft light in every
Part of your body
And every reach of your mind
You are like a captured fort
An idol descends
In the sanctum sanctorum
Where you pray thankfully to your gods.
Neither this body nor this mind
Nothing belongs to you
Your soul is sucked
And your senses obliviated.

FREEDOM
If a dog gets free of its chain
What will it possibly do?
Its barking was never a problem
Only biting was.
So, that is the forbidden job
It will run out to perform.
A dog’s mind runs straight
No complexes, no complexities
It will run around and smell
A hundred places, pee at will,
And certainly look for
Female interest.
Freedom for a man does not mean
Anything else.
The liberties that the dog might take
Stand nowhere in comparison
To a man
Losing his chains.
Men are not prone to reason
As Rousseau premised,
They are more like Hobbes aboriginals
Chains off, they will run riot
Kill at will, and visit chaos all around.
Already there is moral confusion in society
Inspite of constitutions and conventions
Restraintless freedom
Is neither possible nor desirable
In a civilized society for dogs as for men*
*includes all genders

A dog’s mind runs straight! That sums up.
