What if lies didn’t count

It didn’t matter about the hurt

Would there still be that feeling

That thing they call love

~

Would spite and deceit

Walk hand in hand

Would we really understand

That thing called love

~

Would there ever be a thing called trust

Or would it all be about lust

All about taking and not giving

That thing called love

~

Conscience didn’t matter

No need for regret

For we would soon forget

That thing called love

~

But it’s that thing

That makes us what we are

For you can’t get very far

Without that thing called love

I relate to this. You have captured something of the loss we as members that our cultural identity is enshrined in. loss of right ways of being with another, respect and connections to another with out thought of gain.

This is an overlooked little corner in the corner, Tony, but I am pleased to see that others are finding it now.
 
I remember when you posted this gem, filled with insight as to how life may become so shallow without the depth of emotions...of actual love, Zy
