All`s Fair in Love and War?

All`s Fair in Love and War?

A Poem by Thoctar
"

This one is not an addition to my I guess `series`, its just a seperate one aimed at a common maxim.

"
All’s Fair In Love and War?
You say that all is fair
All is fair in Love and War
And if you continue to think that
They will be indistinguishable
All is fair huh?
So you can justify anything?
Anything at all?
Justifying atrocities to your mind
That attitude will one day cause you ruin
Not only your ruin
But the ruin of all
All is fair?
If you continue
Love will become war
A spiral of atrocities
Justified by that old maxim
All’s fair in Love and War
Until Love is War
A constant assault on the object of your affection
That is what it will get you
All if fair in Love, in War, because there is no difference anymore
Love has become War and War has become Love
And you continue to justify it all
And call it all fair
Your fairness is nothing but lies
The creation of your mind
You own personal delusion
But in your own mind it is all fair
You have created your own reality
And force it upon everyone else
But it is all fair to you
Because all is fair in love and war and War and Love
