Great wars fought by colliding countries.
Strong families torn asunder.
Lies told and truths secreted.
Friends betrayed and destroyed.
Fortunes sacrificed.
All for the sake,
of one small
word like
love.
Yet -
alas,
this small word,
gives life meaning.
Nurtures great friendships.
Inspires quests for truth.
Develops strong families.
and promotes global compassion
For what would the world be without love?
