For tens of thousands of years
men and women slept with and to each other.
Through smiles and tears,
through health and sickness, life and death.
No questions asked.
And the species was no wiser.
And then one day,
a man wrote a story
of love.
A love so pure,
so sacred,
so cinematic
that life itself could not justify it.
So he gave the world
lovers who died in love.
And the species lost its mind.
Ever since, men and women
have been so busy chasing love,
they've upended lives and genders,
waged wars,
marched into battlefields,
forgetting it was togetherness they were seeking.
Today the species has evolved so much
that
gender is a spectrum,
equality a grocery,
biology a myth,
and truth a hate crime.
But love,
love is still a unicorn in the sky,
and sensibility, its wake-up call.
