Love and Hate

Love and hate often intertwine We search and search but we cannot find We try to untangle but our minds our confused Like a bomb on an airplane that we cannot defuse We try to separate our friends from our foes But the fist of reality hits us square in the nose Options are low and our tensions our high The snowball of stress could make a grown man cry Anxiety and depression run ram bid around Like when you leave Disneyland with a frown Society and politics are all that we see Movies, the radio, and that friggin T.V. No wonder why were failing with the news that were fed The reality of a second holocaust where all end up dead Money, drugs, corruption and power Are all the keys to make a kind heart turn sour The bead of exhaustion drips down our brow The possibility of insanity is very real right now Why are we searching for something that's not there True happiness is not a mask you can wear
