What should love do?

“This is shit.”

“Fuck it.”

“Fuck it all.”

“No, no. Fuck it, we ball.”

“No, cmon. Fuck it, we fall.”

“Listen hate, I know you want it all gone. Still I believe we should press on.”

“Love, love, love. Why are you so optimistic, there is nothing here but the pain we visit.”

“Love is what created and holds the universe together. I am Love and I will strive for what’s better.”

“What is so called ‘better’? Changing a word with one letter?”

“Yes, hate is now fate and what’s destined will be.”

“This world is broken and all must pay the fee.”

“Cracked and broken, still the universe is for the hoping.”

“Why hope when you know I’m here? I will continue to construct fear.”

“Fear and hate, you’ve controlled the universe. I’ve let you live out your curses.”

“Yes, for life is doomed and you know that for certain.”

“With love and patience, all be revealed from behind the curtain.”

“What’s revealed? Your great and mighty plans?”

“That and much more for my greatest fans.”

“I do not understand.”

“And you never will.”
