2012 love is a lie


Love is over-rated I mean think about it The dictionary partly defines it as “The attraction based on sexual desire,” So you see something that appeals to your inner “voice” that draws you to a particular force that arouses you That’s love… Love used to be patient, kind And morally compliant But considering it’s a “new day” And “ain’t nobody got time for patience” Got baby girls sayin’ “Let’s get married, ‘cause I think I love you” Nex’ thing you know baby girl has been used Socially, physically, and mentally abused Then we point to the accused As to say, “How could he be so rude?” But to tell you the truth He’s the victim too He’s the victim of immaturity He wasn’t mature enough to handle a woman’s worth So he’s damned; to be cursed This forces his future generations to do much worse So as you can see Lust can’t set you free But instead of agree You place it in a seed That we later feed to our future babies. -Ashley Browning
