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
