love is the reason to write
to breathe, to challenge
the persistent ennui of the forlorn
on a tumultuous planet known often
to cause serious sandpaper abrasions
across the noses and cheeks of the flock
love is the other side of the fulcrum
the reason to throw back the bedsheets
in the morning, put your feet on the floor
dab your face in aloe vera, head out the door
to greet other human beings
not doing as well as you
it doesn't cost any money to smile
you don't need a credit card to be kind
to show a little empathy....okay okay
I am preaching here, but do I really need
a divinity degree to grasp the power of love
c'mon, certainly I have better credentials
than the televangelist or the pedophile
so Fuck It !....I'm going to just go ahead
and..... preach love
remember the immortal words of the great philosopher Elvis Costello,
What's So Funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding ?
that's right...it ain't no joke
