Requited Love

Some nonchalantly
say that love is for
the birds
Flying high to roam
the uncharted sky

Yet all must land to
wander and wonder
Over untold mysteries
of requited love
Etched within
inspirational DNA of
restless minds

The rekindling of
revolutionary spirit
Demanding the right
to rewrite the history
of waylaid love
Lost in the wilderness
of wayward
independence
and dependency

Masses drowned in
slavery of modern
times
And aroused in the
struggle against
exploitation, neglect
and alienation

Yet…unfulfilled
For strayed ones
worship the effects
rather than the
cause
And truly know the tree
but not its jungle/
forest
