The Hitchcock Thriller

Some love too little, some love too long, some they answer the riddle but fail to move on some laugh and others cry when truest feelings have been denied Some do the act with a show of tears, surrendering everything showing their fears And some without a sigh; they just let their pride die For some men kill the things they love, power given from up above Yet each man does deny. power from heaven they devise Some kill love when in their youth, some kill with abuse And some when they grow old; in the end the scam unfolds Some smother with the hand of greed, turning away from the hand of need Because of lust for gold; the way of love had turned old The evil use their tongue because, of vengence to discover It takes love where it’s cold and evil thought it mutters But men who kill the girl they love, and claim a passion from heaven above have a story to be heard; lets not listen to one word Some do it with a callous look with a wisdom from the good book Some with a bitter word; and with some with passion never heard, The tyrant does it with his fist, and serial killer with his list The weak man with a sword. a genious that was bored (A collaboration by Elizabeth Wesley and John H Loving III)
