Love, Knowledge and Time

by Daniel J   Apr 15, 2005


Who needs Love,
all the trouble which it brings,
presents itself as if a dove,
it begins to sing.

Kill it's song,
we want it not,
to spread it's poison,
it is simply wrong.

Who needs Knowledge,
knowing what will be,
by searching all the pages,
of the books of history?

Take it out,
get it gone,
this is a burden,
of which we want none.

Who needs Time,
time is no healer,
it is what kills you,
you as well as me.

Away with this,
Keep it not,
a concept this painful,
should be dropped.

So why do the likes of you and i,
the simple people in our world,
living out our lives uttering many a sigh,
make such use of these things three?

the three go hand in hand,
with time comes knowledge,
and it's through this we understand:
better to love and lose,
than to never have loved at all.
