I dont want you to read this,
For my words are slight and poor,
You will see this rhyme as a literary crime,
With nothing to adore.
If you love this poem in the end,
Then it is proven wrong,
Who wants misleading words within a beloved poetic song?

This work was doomed from the start,
So filled with modest lies,
Yet people will like it as it cowers beneath it's rhythmic disguise,
I hate this poem already, as it sits before me unfinished,
The wit of that previous stanza makes this one seem so diminished.

I find it amusing, yet somewhat confusing,
To create a poem about itself,
And how I dislike it, since it's worthless babble with no place on the bookshelf,
These lines are too long,
These syllables so wrong,
But I cannot erase this ink.
It's a literary crime with a pointless existence,
Too bad I stopped to think.

LOVE IS GOD, LOVE IS WAR, LOVE IS WHAT YOUR LIFE IS FOR.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, it made no sense. But maybe another one would!
