Guess I'M Just Old Fashioned

Love, love, everywhere And still not a drop to spare Will someone please explain to me Why we humans, who were originally meant to love Continually wage war Am I delusional, living in my own little world Oblivious to the way of us humans People blowing themselves up on a daily basis And taking innocent people with them And for WHAT??? That my friends is sick, utterly insane Maybe that's it... these people are deranged Love, love, everywhere And not a day goes by when it seems The top news story is how many were killed today By these lunatic extremists Guess I'm just an old fashioned dude © Jack Ellison 2014

The love of the world is built one person and Dragon at a time... and dare I say... for everyone killed in the news... there are thousands who have helped another person in their life... By the way... Dragon and I want to know what does IMHO mean? To the news killing is sensational... Helping is not worth noticing... But like poets... helping people... are every where... Amen!

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion! The headline, "Everyone got along today and no one killed anybody" DOES NOT SELL PAPERS! Good thing there's us poets! XOXOXOX
