Let us love

Love
Beings
Regardless of their
Sex
Ethnicity
Complexion
Social class

Love
A person
Because you love that person
And not because
They are of a particular
Sex
Ethnicity
Complexion
Social class

Love people
Don't just have sex
Don't just fuck
Make love
Instead

And yet
People are picky
Ethnicity is considered
Conversion is encouraged
Sometimes demanded
The lower class
Try to fit in with the rich
The upper class
Convince themselves their
Pauper lovers are still love-worthy

One pretends to not notice
When the other talks about lau

And so
Love is for the rich
Love is for the poor
Love is for
The Buddhist
The Christian
The Hindu
The Muslim
The athiest
The agnostic
 (etc.)
Love is for the rich
Love is for the poor
Love is for anyone
Love is for everyone

Yet
Love is assumed to be heterosexual
Relationships are assumed to be heterosexual

We are told to love and not (just) have sex
Then why does it matter if
Woman loves man or woman?
Or
Man loves woman or man?

Attraction of oppositesIs deemed normal
Anything but the
Attraction of opposites
Is deemed
Abnormal
Sinful
Unlawful
Disgusting


Love doesn't discriminate based on sex
But society does

Let us love
The people we love
Let us love
Regardless of
Sex
Ethnicity
Complexion
Social class
Let us love
Because
We have no choice
We don't choose
Whom to love
We can choose
Whom to be loved by
But even that decision
Is none of society's business

So
Let us love
