If love had the power to win the world,

Imagine a beautiful place to be.

A utopian passion to unfold,

In the quagmire that every day we see.


Everybody wants happy memories,

To be cherished, and desires to fulfill.

One wonders, where are these cupid fairies,

Twirling magic wands, making the heart swirl!


Love is a cross, a crown weaved of thorns,

Skin tone, race, and religion play the show.

Heartache  is constant as the heartbeat mourns,

No place for true love to feel, bloom and grow.


Soft poisoned arrows to sort and select,

Chaotic life ends in a wristy pact.
