Who Loves You

"Who loves you, baby?"                                                                                                                                                          A 4-worded question                                                                                                                                                   By police detective                                                                                                                                                      On a television show*

"Who loves you?"
Like a bridge over troubled waters,
Let's see if we can find a solution
For all this pain and confusion

"Who loves you?"                                                                                                                                                     Like coded lines                                                                                                                                                                 For the down and out,                                                                                                                                                       Or someone down on their luck

"Who loves you?"                                                                                                                                                   To dedramatize the scene                                                                                                                                               For someone who's caught                                                                                                                                                          On the wrong side of the law

A greeting that says,                                                                                                                                                                   I'm for and not against you,                                                                                                                                             But for now, I want to know,                                                                                                                                            "Who loves you?'
