LOVE SONG


Love of country has caused war,
love of god, martyrs galore.
Yet you say you love me.

Duels are fought for love of ladies fair,
hearts broken by love's despair.
Yet you say you love me.

Love of power makes tyranny,
love of food is gluttony.
Yet you say you love me.

For love of honor, bombers fly
for love of fur, the seals die.
Yet you say you love me.

Science loved by the megaton,
battles loved by those who won,
yet you say you love me.

Fish are hooked for love of sport.
Love of justice ends in court.
Yet you say you love me.

Love of country has caused war,
love of god, martyrs galore.
Aren't you glad I love you?
