Peace Love Sex the Fuse

Sex is not love, love is not sex

some get the two confused

following passion after a fashion

some end up just contused

put on a sexy face

and miss a friend’s embrace

Sex should not be used

like snakes and apes

on steps and ladders

by forward-looking social bladders

who want to change their place

who will not be refused

sex is not love, love is not sex,

though both are better when enthused

and better when your souls are chaste

not better when performed in haste

though best of all profuse

then later you can snooze

Sex is not war, war is not sex

some gets their facts confused

they exert their labor to abuse a neighbor

and make invasion, a poor imitation

of penetration, just blunt sensation

and like rape not by invitation

and not done by some Zeus

who’s turned out on the loose

to do the world a favor

are people made for flu's?

war is not to be used

to bolster weak economies

to fight pretend new enemies

to identify the them’s and me’s

that’s national self-abuse

what’s wrong with just a truce?

Sex is truly unruly peace

and peace is purely sex

and love can sure be gentle

and sometimes gentle sex is best

and if people get your sex confused

it doesn’t make a difference

sex is sex and love is love

your choice can be all the above

no need to make a deference

when stating clear your preference

who wants to make a reference?

sex is great and love is better

fitting like two gloves together

shaking in all kinds of weather

no how matter how you choose friend

you’ve nothing real to lose defend

tis good to be enthused again

especially when fused then

again and again and again you'll grin

when peace love sex are fused

Peace is a chance

the chance for peace

most certainly accrues

as we pay our marching dues

and war still gets refused

while the poor do get some more

control of who comes through their door

and music of the Earth is scored

and played in peace and plowshare stores

when the lion lies down with the ram and Jew

and the lamb with Arabs and Asians too

and the monkey with our maker

the world will be our crew

With Africans providing the boost

we'll spread real gospel and good news

with grace, kind love and with the muse

and blow away humankind blues

life from the leash will be excused

life from the lash will be rescued

now heal, O planetary bruise

there will be no one left confused

with tensions finally defused

the Golden Rule clear not obtuse

with everyone even a moose

to learn the way our spaceship runs

with peace intent and not with guns

our one world only, not nations

with incentive for de-exploitation

as we fly our solar station

with reeducated crews

we’ve nothing real to lose

as we step into the shoes

of peace, love, sex, the fuse

just smile and be amused

and even take that snooze

cause peace love sex are fused

no matter what your views now

tis good to be enthused and how

peace love sex are fused wow

peace love sex the fuse
