Responsibility Of Adults Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reasoning and logic have no meaning in some situations
in this earthly life, especially in the throes of love.

There, all goes out the door for what one thinks love
is, not realizing that what they thought was love was,
in fact, was infatuation and lust.

Not pre-requisites to a lasting love throughout life,
lives are totally destroyed because people and teens
have not been told the difference between them.

Therefore, they cannot teach what they do not know,
caring and knowing adults have a responsibility to teach
the younger generation these basic truths.

In the end it will do away with a lot of abuse and domestic
violence in relationships, because they will have avoided
the pitfalls of false love.

Women are so sensitive, wanting love, but so are men and
they are both very vulnerable to the effects of an un-
guided love, their hearts and lust override their minds
and intellect.
