All the self defined
is but blood
to a stone
their is no love
in one alone

It's kinda got a cool flow, but what does it mean? I'm not so good at the interpreting stuff, sorry if it's a dumb question. Just trying to learn a few things from the poetry people here.

It's a poke at psychiatry and its attemped to define the individual and therby solve us like we were mere puzzles.

God is love ok
What is love?
what is not

The false idol

Is their a substitute a replacment for love
That's what some are selling. But their is no  self love no God inside any individual. Love and their by God is what we share between us.
You wont find God our any answers that matter inside you no matter how far you delve into the psyche.

"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"
Me thinks this hippy new what he was talking about

It's also based on the Wedding song by Peter Paul and Mary check it out on you tube

Nice. Wouldn't have come to that conclusion unless ya told me. I was thinking it was more about there ain't love without something to love, even regardless of who you are. But I guess I didn't remember the title when I was reading it, wich seems to be a hint at what you were aiming for.

Yes it is about how you cant find love alone
And its about when you ask yourself what is wrong with me why am I so unhappy. And someone tells you the answer is in you .
because your whats wrong with you so here take this pill. I don't buy it except in some extreme circumstances and I'm not even a hundred percent sure then.

Tis true Bill,

He that isolates himself,
goes off, selfishly crazy.

I agree with you that people are popping too many pills but i think the problem is to some extent within them selves and self eveluation is needed, that doesent however mean the person is crazzy. amazing little poem too, it great when a poem makes you think.

" IF that which you seek you cannnot find within you sahll never find it without" anciant text 'words of the great mother'
