Miserable wars
if love is not the reason
Miserable wars
Miserable weapons
if they are not kisses
Miserable
Pitiable men
if they don't die of love
Pitiable
Men have killed
more women than men
The most miserable love
is fought for
The most pitiable kisses are weapons
and the most pathetic men
refuse to live for love without motive.
