The Man Who Didn't Know How To Hug


Game shows, soaps, celebrity big jungle factor houses:
Ways to avoid an evening of talking with our spouses.

All because one man could not stand to feel
The unbearable agony of love.

Buildings fall and turn to dust while inside people die;
Parents weep for babies lost as bombs and bullets fly.

All because one man could not stand to feel
The unbearable exquisiteness of love.

Children who are forced to fight with sticks, tin hats and stones,
Grow up as freedom fighters who have fury in their bones.

All because one man could not stand to feel
The unknown ecstasy of love.

Road rage, fox hunts, scandals, rows, betrayals and excuses;
Global warming, poaching, lies and human rights abuses.

All because one man was never taught to feel
The warm embrace of love.
