If not for love, I would have done it If not for love, she would have said it I was just a kind heart, who wished for every good thing Oh now I know, everything can't be good as I want it There's always a bad side She was just a fair skin, who wished for every beautiful thing, Oh now she knows, everything can't be beautiful as she wants it There's is always an ugly side Together always, we cared less of square pegs and round holes Now issues brings concerns; we take note of every err and bad thoughts Bring back the days of old; when we loved like Romeo and Juliet Bring back the times past; when we had each others back like Bonnie and Clyde Please let us bring back the you, and the me, that became the us And hopefully, we could bring back again, everything we kept away For love is good, and it is good to be loved; One body for one good If not for love, I would have left you If not for love, she would have said it was over And if not for love, we would have been asunder   If not for love, I wouldn't have done it If not for love,  they wouldn't have done it My belief is different, and my faith is in God of all things Oh now I know, we may not be the same, though we have one maker There are Christians, and there are Muslims They worship in their ways, and they call on God for all things Oh now they know, we may not be alike, though we have one creator There are blacks, and there are whites Together always, we shared festive moods & feasts Now politics in between; we pick every fault & differences Bring back the old days; when we lived as brothers and sisters Bring back the past times; when we protected each other and kept one another Please let us bring back The Yoruba, and The Hausa and The Ibo that became one Nation And hopefully, we could #bringbackourgirls, that were taken away For God is love and love is God; One People under one God If not for love, I wouldn't have embraced them again If not for love, they wouldn't have invited me over And if not for love, we wouldn't have lived together   URBAN HOUSE POETRY© HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE™

IF NOT FOR LOVE
If not for love, I would have done it If not for love, she would have said it I was just a kind heart, who wished for every good thing Oh now I know, everything can't be good as I want it There's always a bad side She was just a fair skin, who wished for every beautiful thing, Oh now she knows, everything can't be beautiful as she wants it There's is always an ugly side Together always, we cared less of square pegs and round holes Now issues brings concerns; we take note of every err and bad thoughts Bring back the days of old; when we loved like Romeo and Juliet Bring back the times past; when we had each others back like Bonnie and Clyde Please let us bring back the you, and the me, that became the us And hopefully, we could bring back again, everything we kept away For love is good, and it is good to be loved; One body for one good If not for love, I would have left you If not for love, she would have said it was over And if not for love, we would have been asunder   If not for love, I wouldn't have done it If not for love,  they wouldn't have done it My belief is different, and my faith is in God of all things Oh now I know, we may not be the same, though we have one maker There are Christians, and there are Muslims They worship in their ways, and they call on God for all things Oh now they know, we may not be alike, though we have one creator There are blacks, and there are whites Together always, we shared festive moods & feasts Now politics in between; we pick every fault & differences Bring back the old days; when we lived as brothers and sisters Bring back the past times; when we protected each other and kept one another Please let us bring back The Yoruba, and The Hausa and The Ibo that became one Nation And hopefully, we could #bringbackourgirls, that were taken away For God is love and love is God; One People under one God If not for love, I wouldn't have embraced them again If not for love, they wouldn't have invited me over And if not for love, we wouldn't have lived together   URBAN HOUSE POETRY© HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE™
