Send Me a Dove

We’re all greeted to open possibilities

But we turn away when there are too many hostilities

We never give out loans

And when we do, we let out a few groans

 

We never received a gentle hand

All we got was a stinging demand

When asked to share our toys

We say ew to all the boys

 

Mothers are as empty as pails

Fathers are as harsh as hail

Sisters are nude

While brothers are rude

 

When did it all come to this?

When did we start throwing fists?

We say we love

But we’re crows compared to doves

 

Hard work is just for us

We grew up with not a hush

We were traitors

And we were haters

 

When will we learn to love?

Oh, please Lord send me a dove!

This poem is inspired by the struggles of love. I don't know if I should deeply explain this poem because I believe any form of art should be left to the interpretation. You are the one who decides the meaning. I give you half a painting, it's up to you on how you want to finish it.
