(Song title from The Beatles catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)
All you need is love, they say,
But famine, war and hunger get in the way,
Same old hatred,
Same old fear,
Plays out within my brain day by day.
I can’t understand the fray,
The bitter denial in all that we say,
Such angry words,
Angry stares,
And still they say, “all you need is love”.
