Love Is A Scam?
Long ago there was a man
who thought love was just a scam.
Who needs love to survive?
I don’t need love to chuck & jive.
I can go and do it all.
Love will only make me fall.
His beliefs became so extreme.
He didn’t care about anything.
He didn’t care if babies died.
His mother died & he didn’t cry.
People asked him what was wrong?
He said love’s a scam. It won’t take long
for all the emotions to come on strong.
Just ignore all of loves mistakes.
Don’t get sucked in is all it takes.
People dying is part of life.
Never let it bring you strife.
So your ‘lover’ breaks up with you.
There is nothing he can do.
If you’re not sucked into the scam.
You can walk away like a man.
Love triggers many accompanying feelings.
Often these can leave you reeling.
Live a life almost stress free.
If you’ll only do like me.
Then, one day, he was hit by a car.
It was life or death with a lot of scars.
He started feeling really scared.
Should he voice it, if he dared.
Then he told a really understanding nurse.
She gave him comfort. She didn’t curse.
She read the Bible to him when she had time.
After a few verses he saw his crime.
God was love, as pure as it can be.
It was no scam, he could now see.
If you love another it’s just like God.
Spreading love around is in no way odd.
He left the hospital a different man.
He said I will do all I can
to spread love to all in every way.
He is still doing that today.
He is the pastor of our local church.
He loves all who come to church.
He would never turn anyone away.
He says love is the only way.——————R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
