Where's The Love? Poem by patrick omasters

Life is so uncertain, too many egos rule
The more we give, the more they take away.
Nihilistic hedonists justify their truth
but once they sell their souls, we have to pay.

Stop and take a look at all the pain there is to see;
war and hatred, blind ambition, apathy and bigotry.
Can we come together or are we just insane?
No matter what the answer, the question's still the same.


Where's the love?
We let it slip away somehow.
If you're listening above, send us down a little love
We could use some love right now.

No, I'm no blind utopian
but maybe John was right.
I dream a world he once imagined
when I close my eyes.

Young and optimistic,
a world so bright and true.
Time took over, fate unfolded,
took away the love we knew.

We used to live like brothers
but that was long ago.
How we could have grown so cold,
I just don't want to know.

Where's the love?
We let it slip away somehow.
If you're listening above, send us down a little love
we could use some love right now.

If you're listening above, send us down a little love
we could use some love right now.
