Love

It might seem to one from outer space
That the entire Human Race
Has spent all that’s gone before
In constant and relentless war

But before you flee with tales of woe
From all the hatred down below
Please pause a while and not depart
And look instead within our heart

For there oh watchers from above
Lies the thing that we call love
The most powerful thing upon this earth
It shows us what we’re truly worth

And whilst it’s true our heart it hides
Deep within our fleshed insides
When it finds the one its love’s meant for
The ache tells us it’s ours no more

So whilst history leaves a sorry trail
War and hate will not prevail
It’s love that drives the world around
And keeps our future onward bound.
