20th Century Love Song


from the ABC set Refelections on Life

Shall I sing to you of my desire,
the need for loving,
the want of someone
to share each precious moment?

Or do I talk of possessions,
car, property, monthly income,
the minutae of modern existence?

I have so much love to give
and want so much to give it.

Will you listen to your heart's hunger
or settle for the safety
of the magazine life?
