Love

Updated: Oct 5

By Zayd Ahmad



Love is selfish, hate is selfish, 

Forgive me, humans are selfish, 

Humanity is selfish, a church of self aggrandizers,

Bowing down to the God of money, 

Everything has a price, your mother, my mother, 

Would all sell their babies, for a billion dollars, 

And tell themselves a billion reason, 

For it, 

Don't tell me, they would not be able to sleep at night,

In peace, 

Everything can be justified by our selfish, 

Brains, 

Religion, politics, family, 

Love, honor, respect, 

All is Maya, temporalities, stacked on, other temporalities, 

Don't justify me your love, just love me deeply, selfishly, 

Don't justify me your hate, just hate me deeply, selfishly, 

You are selfish, and I am selfish, 

Let's all be selfish knowingly, 

Maybe then we would get closer, 

To our real humanity.
