Loopholes Of Love

When the world's being sold out
And the planet's getting plundered
What shame upon your gentle kind
Only you man, yourself have brought
As we watched nature's rape with rave
Oh shut it down! Mother Earth thundered
Doors shut, cities silent, jungles again roared

Now that the grand strategy of business
To capitalise upon someone's innocence
Has all but become an elaborate nuisance
Why not think anew with the renewed view
Of trading peace with gifts of love as the law
Empathised, even the hurt, will forgo and forgive
Because only love profiteers from Loopholes of love'
