What would Love Choose

  • Post category:poetry

Some see a world of gloom
where an end is coming much too soon
where killing and lies persist
and we hate what we resist

On this planet of lies
we kill what we despise
On this raped earth
we hate and fear, and keep giving birth

To those who only see with eyes so blind
it seems we are out of time
to those who only hear with ears of cynics
the sick remain in clinics

To those who only chose to judge
they remain stuck in the sludge
but we have the power to choose another way
and restart our lives, beginning today

What would Love Choose
What would Love Do
What Would Love Decide
on this crazy Life Ride?

What would love say
about how we treat each other today
What would Love see
within the darkest part of me
What would Love hear
would it be all our fears

What would Love Choose
What would Love Do
What Would Love Decide
on this crazy Life Ride?

Do we choose to live from fear
and let humanity continue to disappear
Do we choose a life of hate
and let life exasperate

Or do we choose to see with eyes of love
and begin to live on wings of the dove
do we side with all that love would desire
and begin to add fuel to the passion fire

Do we choose to see the good in every one
and live a life that comes together, not gets undone
Do we choose to see the good inside
and live a life of truth, instead of lies

We can be honest with ourselves and all who matter
if we listen to the still inner voice instead of the outside chatter
We can find a higher truth between us
if we only allow vulnerability to great us 

What would Love Choose
What would Love Do
What Would Love Decide
On this crazy Life Ride?
