The Story of Love

By the condition of humanity
There is a duty of everyone
To love all

But it is not by condition of humanity
Nor by the inviting duty
That allows unlimited love

It is rather the ability
To read a novel
Called “Humanity”

Let us begin

By speculation and surprise
Beings began to wonder
About creation and demise
As a spectacular tale

Stories, oh countless stories
As diverse as grains of sand
Began religious theories
Of all kind

Beliefs, ideas, and thoughts
Battled each other endlessly
Even with different mascots
One thing remained the same

Most taught
Love one another

So the question arises
Why is the condition of belief
Involved in the unconditioned love
Of their teachings?

By different areas and regions
Beings began to diversify
On customs and actions
They lived separately

Cultures, oh countless cultures
As diverse as grains of sand
Filled them with pride and filters
Of all kind

Cultures, customs, and creativity
Battled each other endlessly
Even with different stories
One thing remained the same

Most taught
Love your culture

So the question arises
Why is the condition of culture
Involved in the unconditioned love
Of their teachings?

By borders and walls
Beings began to create kingdoms
Of pride standing tall
As devotion became dissimilar

History, oh the history
As diverse as grains of sand
Filled them with bravery
Of all kind

Nations, Nationality, and Name
Battled each other endlessly
Even with different fame
One thing remained the same

Most taught
Love your neighbor

So the question arises
Why is the condition of nationality
Involved in the unconditioned love
Of their teachings?

These beings were always at odds
In religion, culture, and nationality
Due to the thought of frauds
Of their antagonistic view

Our novel has come to an end
Frustrated with no answer
On the source of unlimited love? Do not worry

For the simple answer
Lies in each of us
In a question we must contemplate

Are you a protagonist
in your religion, culture, and nationality
In the story of “humanity”?

Are others antagonists
in their religion, culture, and nationality
In the story of “humanity”?

For the mere expression
Of unconditional love
Lies simply with this thought

We are loving unconditionally
With recognizing that everyone is playing the part
Of a protagonist in this human story.
