Modern Romance

-

Modern romance is nothing more

Than a flash flood of circumstance (circumstance)

I keep rubbing my eyes – till the moonlight exalts me

I never knew love until it kicked me in the jaw

It was just a small dot in the distance

I keep remembering – our first faulty steps

I don’t know what you expect of me

I’m not perfect, not even close to it

I’m only human don’t you know

-

I keep reading in these magazines

Of love unfettered and free

People only marry for money these days

But that’s not real love

It’s just words on paper

No one knows what real love is

It’s a mystery, but that’s the way its meant to be

-

I hear the nuclear family is in meltdown

And the face of marriage has been overrun

Hijacked by the media force feeding ideas

Promiscuity and obscenity is common place

In the hearts and minds and on everyone’s lips

How can society get back on track?

How can we heal the hurt felt in everyone everywhere

Don’t dash at the first sign of trouble

It’s only natural, you’ll trip and fall

But you’ve got pick yourself up

And work at it, that’s real love…
