WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LOVE?

Roger N. Taber

Peace in the park abused by druggies
desperate to fund the luxury;
No time for drugs? Lets go for alcohol
poisoning insteadÉ

Fun at the fair ruined by pickpockets
out for an easy ride;
Sanctuary in our schools invaded
by a culture of bullying

Generation gaps made (far) wider
by five star psychiatrists;
Mother Nature repeatedly raped
by property developers

War on Terror, a welcome distraction
from Home Front issues;
Our own back yards piled high
with body bagsÉ

Conscience part salved by more charity,
Confession, prison programsÉ
Problem part solved by pointing fingers
of blame elsewhere

Facts of life, we’re told and no point
in crying over spilt blood;
Prevention better than cure, they say;
So whatever happened to love?
