“ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR”
By John Yeo
The balance of fairness is very fine
To be fair in wartime is hard
The strong dominate the weak with control.
Potent weapons establish the edge
Domination follows a win of the war,
Lines of unfairness clearly visible.
Love is a very smooth heady affair,
Two hearts beat as one in mutual regard
To grow with respect on either side.
The weapons of love are invisible ties
Domination by one shatters trust in the other,
Lines of unfairness clearly invisible.
