Where Then Can Love Be Found

A place where hatred is taken captive and joyous laughter will resound
But, people are devoid of Understanding….Where Then Can Love Be Found?

We’re living in the Final Days; days of darkness, and confusion
Through the Beast, False Prophet, Anti-Christ…The Masters of Illusion

I see a land that cries for Justice, a world where evil roams
I see Warfare, Pain, and Emaciation…The Elderly Left Alone

Search deeply within your beings, why have we reached this Lost Condition?
Where our lives are now uncertain…nonexistent apparitions

Who can we blame for all the tragedy; where can we go to find a cure?
The solution is not beyond us, only Love can make life pure

Many nations have great problems, several countries overseas
Yet, take a look, decode the cipher…they’re killing Minorities

Our Children, precious Little Ones, in recent years their hopes have waned
They've been Shot Down/ Abused/Neglected, each human shares in the blame

In New York City something appalling, a day of shameful doom
A mother had a child ripped from her belly…A Seed No Chance To Bloom

Love is cloaked in elusive mystery; carnal man cannot obtain
It can only be found if you cleanse your Spirits/Yes, its meaning is quite arcane

It’s Unconditional, Very Humble, looks not on Race, or Color
And, I doubt very seriously you know its worth if you can’t even Love Your Brother

I know we can reach the Apogee, so Break The Chains, and don’t be bound
Still, until that day, I’ll ask a question…Where Then Can Love Be
