I need a Man, not a machine.
I need love, not a ring
Empty of meaning, just a thing
When the giver ceases giving...
To selfish self only listening.
(3.16.07 - - Miserably married males, simply substitute 'woman' for 'man'...
Remember, the voice of a poem does not necessarily echo that of the poet.)
