At He Risk of Appearing Repetitive
At the risk of appearing repetitive
This poem is again about love
What else in life is all encompassing
It's at the core of all that we do
More important than anything else by far
However love is not always part of the equation
Nations battle for land and power
Love is furthest from their evil minds
They must have an extra special gene
That doesn't exist in normal well-adjusted people
Perhaps an unhappy loveless childhood
Unhappy parents, setting a bad example
No love, lack of caring, no commitment
When those are not part of one's upbringing
People sometimes can become jaded
And think conflict is a natural part of life
I'm surely not making excuses for deviant behaviour
At some point in one's life
We all reach a point when reality overtakes
And loving, law abiding forces, rule our lives
However there are still extreme cases
And that's when these forces become so strong
That evil acts seem quite natural
They see these as normal occurrences in life
Just like the rising and setting of the sun
But love still remains the most potent force
At the risk of appearing repetitive
The love we have at our disposal
Gives us a reason to try to be the best
Most loving person, we can be
