Come Together


Disengaged lovers separated by a dime
Can’t connect to each other, too many mountains to climb
Bills to be paid money to be made
Through a minutia of nonsense and bullshit they wade

Passion and compassion thrown to the side
The brass rings they chase can’t bridge the divide
Their vision is tunneled by the “things” they chase
But silver and gold is not the prize for this race

Love is left dangling for another time
When the clock runs out it becomes a crime
Withheld affection is like manslaughter
Then the empire you’re building begins to totter

Twisted priorities are our biggest disgrace
And will become the ruin of the human race
Holding love for ransom robs humanity
All love “games” are pure insanity

Yet in times of need we expect love to be there
Giving us comfort, relief and care
But love is a fire that needs to be stoked
Neglected, the flame will eventually be choked

So reunite, lovers, I beg of you
Give love a chance to blossom anew
It will be your only savior in the end
Because only love will help you ascend
