Love is Locked Away

Topic:
anguished
|
That chainsaw displaced another bird
and whole community of small things
just because
the developed lands
turn their fat and greedy backs
and love is locked away
in the hateful case
Another babe grows up
from the warm suburban house
to the cold streets and chemical love
under The Man’s nose
who pretends to care for friends
but love is locked away
in that bitter case
She goes on talk shows
gives a story on the modern man
an out-dated, sepia photograph
disguised hate as ambition
too full of ideas to fill the heart
as love is locked away
in that torn case
My brothers and I sit
here on cliff’s edge with eagle eyes
a heavy heart, critical brow
troubled by the machine ticking over
- we, the last of the romantics -
because love is locked away
in that damned case.

| Not what I expected from the title, but throughly engaging. Great images and the concept of love being locked away is a good one. |
