For Loves Sake

This is for loves sake,
For all the beauty and the heartbreak
This is for the world and it's current state
For knowing love will be out so we will wait.

It's all going to plan
and the sterling is worth more than man
They've made it clear that yes they can
Snub the poor and to the ill-gotten hold out their hand.

We know that life has been bought and sold on the back of it
of all goodness being shifted to make room for it
Of all the pain of feeling so great you're not sure it will fit
where your little heart ought to contain it.

Since love gave life how do we still find ways to hate and to kill?
To maim, rape and steal and force our victims to foot the bill?
Is money and oil and grease and dirt
The measure of what our humanities worth?

No, life has to be for loves sake,
For all the beauty and the heartbreak
It has to be to take the world out of it's current state
For love to out we shouldn't have to wait.
