Love Is the Rebuttal To a Cynic

Love is the rebuttal to a cynic
Who holds we're only true to selfish ends,
Patients at some existential clinic
Inside for reasons no-one comprehends

For madmen have no cause to make amends
Weak-minded men seek out what serves them best
The coward dreams of karma and pretends
while lunatics take all and damn the rest

Personal survival's not the quest
for individuals always die alone
No, thriving here together is our test
The madness is to think we're on our own

To love is to accept this is the goal
Love our reward as pieces of the whole
