They say all is fair in love and war
But those words come from carnivores

What do the people who hide away
eating grass and lush greens say

They'd say love and war are far from just
war is fighting, love but lust

True fairness lives in hearts so dear
turned gold from bravery and lack of fear

This poem has a great beat to it. I could recite it out loud! I also like the message that you promoted on love and war! Very creative!
