Selfishness Corrodes Love

SELFISHNESS CORRODES LOVE Selfishness corrodes love Than any other does. Since love is a responsibility And not only A whim in one’s heart. In love, give! Love long for A favorable environment. If you won’t nourish it better, Slowly It find its way out Without any of you two Come to know. Simple like a bee Seeking a new hive For the whole swarm. Once love gets a new home, It cuts off abruptly Like an electric current. This is the worst attribute of it. It never say bye, But it has gone Leaving you two Failing to understand each other Completely. Once love gets a new home The old couple Play comedy. They become good actors Displaying falsehood Of their inner heart. A smile becomes a mock, A kiss becomes a spit, But eyes are benevolent: They start Evading one’s eyes. If you happen to see The last sign, Love has corroded Love is giving: And competing in giving. Struggle to give more Than you receive from partner. Struggle to thwart a partner And dwarf her far behind. Struggle to be a head of him By giving him madly. Give anything in your mind: Give your enough time, Give your good stories, Give your real touches , Give your advice Give your body. Compete to be superb When it comes to giving. Remember, Selfishness corrodes love!
