Situations 13

Matteo N. Delgrosso

“Love The World” What does it mean, “Love the world”?

Love men, nature, animals?

With this poem, I invite you to reflect on the ambiguity of the love man brings to his environment.

Man declares his love only in words, but the reality is different.

You say: Love the world.

But you destroy it.

You say: Love men.

But you don’t understand them.

You say: Love the woods (forests).

But you destroy them with a blow of the ax.

You say: Love the animals.

But you enslave them.

If now you still say you love me, I am afraid.
