Sonnet 149



Sonnet 149
Laijon Liu 20160712

Yes, I say I love but I never do, it's true, it's true
Like that slogan I shout “World Peace!” too
I want love but I know there’re more important things
Like skills, possessions, price tags, and sacrifice
Emotion part is not yet a main component of humanity
Love is not economy, not politics, not religion
We are pyramid builders, weapon inventors
We can’t bond like dolphins, nor sing like whales
Love is utopia, luxurious brand, the future
Something on stage, in a song, on a page
It’s a dream we tell ourselves daily
When we trying on clothes in front of mirror
So hate me that I spill the beans
For love is not love if truth not told
