The Failures of Society | Chris Byrne

Has love has become a commodity
An undervalued, underappreciated
Gift we all need and crave?
Society has made us afraid to either show
Or to know what love is, we’ve become
Afraid to show it, to feel it, to love,
Yet love itself is universal.
Advertising makes us think,
Oh, I’ve got to look like this to be loved
But one thing advertising or media
Can never show is that simple love
Is just a hug, a kind word or a
Couple guys having a beer
Cracking jokes, laughing,
Never futile as they
Would have you
Believe
