Love Remains

The sorrow in my heart grows

Beyond the pale of everyday life

No more does the sun so shine

So brightly had the future glowed

With the underbelly whispering softly

Dissent and anger run black like poison

This country, so God loving and fearing

Disillusionment spread with dirty words

Hate and power seeping into minds

So void of purpose and love gone not

Will once again return as the pattern fulfills

Love remains against the shallow face of hate.
