Perfect Love

Perfect Love is what makes a powerful nation What makes hurt and depression Fade bleakly away Perfect Love is what makes jealousy rooth-up What makes countries' hate Unfold They thought a crash - a destruction or two Of buildings we seemed to need They thought the killing of our citizen's Would make us fear them But they know not our country's Perfect Love The Love that God has shown For the opposite of Love isn't Hate, but Fear And Perfect Love casteth out ALL Fear Through our Perfect Love - We Stand Tall And Lift our heads Up We Rebuild our land and Fight Back But How? America chose war To kill and own the Terrorists' land To devour the skin that we so shame- Seems to be the answer and way we so claim But in the process - We Die We Kill Ourselves Slowly, this war turns from Dieing For Heart To Dieing For Pleasure Has America lost sight of its own Perfect Love? You may agree, or disagree, to my opinion But war shows the weakness of a man's conscience War shows Fear that the attacker will corrupt And devour their prey IF it hadn't, the what would be the point of it Wasting thousands to millions, maybe even billions, or dollars killing Killing People we shouldn't, and the waste of Natural Resources of our people? War means to show that you ain't a punk, Or ain't as 'weak' or as 'subordinate' to other people as they think But doesn't Perfect Love show the heart of its people? What should we do... I don't know But the question should be opposed to Perfect Love The Perfect Love we So claim.

An amazing write, Gavin, truly! "war shows the weakness of a man's conscience". Add heaping serving of power and greed, (take gravy with that?) It has always been cruel & ugly, but seems to be getting worse... Or is it that for anyone & everyone, correspondence and communication is only a click away?:( Where are you, Gavin? Best wishes, Mikki
