Love is the answer

Love is the answer,

To these destitute times,

To questionable politics,

And  liberal lies,

We are fed by the red tops,

And broadsheets abound.

Love is the answer,

To our paranoid why’s,

And the fear of strangers,

From far away lands

Painted with terror

And filtered disguise.

Love is the answer,

To the speed of each day,

The sensory overdose of

Information derided,

By propaganda machines

We cannot switch off.

Love is the answer,

To the hate and the bombs,

To our circular wrongs,

To the dead that we mourn,

And love is the answer

We united as one

Believe in our peace

Before it’s all gone.
