DO YOU KNOW A LOVE SONG?

Do You Know a Love Song?

(poem for murderers)


You Didn't Used ta Kill, when You were Young, alThough at Times ya Might have Gotten Mad! Say, Tell me, What's a Love song You have Sung? And Weren't ya Once a Happy Girl, er Lad? Just What beCame of You, that Little Child? I'm Sure That People May have Done ya Wrong – but Just in Case ya Plan on Stayin' Riled, could You, please, Sing for Me that Little Song? The Love song, I mean! Please? Hum a few bars, please?

LET KINDNESS RULE

Let Kindness Rule

Why Let those PoliTicians Hose us All? Why Votr fer ANY Evil, AnyWay? Why Keep on Playin' Chicken, Dumb, an' Small? 'Cause If ya Do, it's DOWN yer Gonna Stay! It's Time we People Held our Heads Up High! It's Time that We threw Off the Cruel Yoke! Those PoliTicians Steal, and Kill, and Lie! And That's the Reason Why our Country's Broke!
WithOut the Rule of Love we All are Lost.

UnLess we Seek the Truth, we'll All be Blind! We Must git Right, and Never Count the Cost! And Don't it All come Down ta Bein' Kind? What do ya Have ta Say?

I'm Sure that Many People just Don't Care, but I say, Let's oBey the Golden Rule! How 'bout You?
