What Makes the World Go Round

What makes the world go round?
   Some say it's music's sound  
And surely it's something rather pleasant
   Enjoyed by folks from kings to peasants...

What makes the world go round?
   There are those who say it's money's clink
Buying luxuries from mansions to minks
   Champagne and dainty liquers to drink

What makes the world go round?
   Moderns say that knowledge is power
But to what end? For purposes dour?
   Better stagnation than such brainpower 

So, after considering all the thoughts above
   I'll stick with good old-fashioned Love

Good old-fashioned love always wins - but music's a near second for me!
