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
