What is love but some burning?

What is love but some yearning?

What is love to mortal man,

That causes him to strive and stand?



Take a continent,

Bomb a land,

It is not the reticent,

Who understand.



But our home is here with you,

And you still want us to this do,

But perchance a glance is left,

Then I am guilty of the theft.



For I can only think and write,

For the pain is left behind.

When in a pit of flaming steel,

One cannot afford to feel.
