Dissonance from the World

I. Philosophy

It is vain.
What does it teach
Save that "God is dead?"
It teaches truth cannot be found.
It teaches love is for the self.
It teaches pleasure is all there is.
It teaches there is no good.
It teaches to suffer blindly.
It confuses what is obvious.
It creates an idol.
It causes its practitioner to doubt.

It is vain.

II. Philosophy

But, when it grasps truth
It strengthens faith.
For, it is "Love of Wisdom."
And its truths point to Christ.
They toil over arcane mysteries
Yet, Christ being our Rabbi
Can let us unravel it for them
All the good thinker knows
Is Christ.

III. Desire

Also, I have become acquainted with the world's love.
Para mores are common.
Which is better?
Loveless marriages with paramours
Or husbandless women
Raising fatherless children?
For order's sake, the former
A cuckold at least loves
What he mistakenly thinks
Are his spawn.
They grow non the wiser.
The woman pledges 
Her undying love
Yet eats from another table...
Another vine.

It is a sad world
We live in, where no one
Truly ever could find love.
A sacred gift:
It always was perverted.

Let the damed play
That game, and never
Know true joy.

IV. Love

Marc and Erin could not even 
Conceive of the word
"Paramour". Their love was so strong.

Anyone who has truly loved
Would be offended
AT the mere thought of
Whatever the world has
Done to love
To make it not
Universally understood.

The love I know
Is so sweet, and real.
It trusts, never fails.
It is a friend; I read that
Somewhere in some great
Thinker's words.

The romantic seeks either
The nobler passions
Or she seeks the instinctual passions.

Man, by instinct, is a wicked creature;
Thus, I look to my nobler
Passions; what pleasures I felt
And needn't remorse.
