For the love of what

For the love of what.

Awwww, you thought this was going to be sensitive and sweet. No. It’s not. Get over it right now. This is for the love of pete, God, everything holy and unholy… for the love of what.

What is the intention to bicker and complain
Why would it matter to be perfect and sane
For whom is the judge to decide on this day
If you or if him or if her should stay
For the love of what is the purpose we say
“We” being the operative word in that play
In each breath you take
In each stride you make
The final resolve of the love and the what
Then is found out and then done, but
Who gets to move forward
When change and lies mix
For who gets to step forward
When the lines are like sticks
In the childhood rant
Of what may break bones
That sticks and the stones
The words will never hurt
But you and him and her and them
Each know this is untrue
For words in our home, our job, our town
Cut down to the core
The heart and then it is asked
For the love of what do we stand to our feet
For the love of whom do we decry humanity
It is in our role in our age and our life
To set the example for all in and out of strife
Life is so short
Life can be cruel
But life is the means to an eternal tool
Of hope, dreams and skies forever bound
To the farthest star in the furthest galaxy unfound
What is the purpose, the point, the meaning of this
You decide
You choose
Just as in life, the meaning and purpose is up to you.
