Born free to keep love free
The freedom of our souls is our salvation;
that we were born spiritually free
makes us immune against all trespassing
on our love by strangers, fools and mortal idiots
who don't understand that love is something higher
than just sleazy sex and messing up and putting down,
the vulgar idiocy of clumsy ignorants,
no better than unthinking animals,
unhuman cynicals and base primitivists;
while thoughtful and considerate responsibility,
far-sighted care and freedom from all bonds to tie you down
is what love really is about,
the nourishment of its eternal life,
the food for thoughts of tenderness that always lasts
and the consistent kindness without end
that rather banishes itself in self-effacement
than dares take the risk of hurting any human feeling.
