Book of Love

Study of life

Learning about life in school

To educate and help us find our way

After many years in class

Educated with knowledge and rules

Yet with all the knowledge and education

They failed me as they failed you

All the time and years spent learning

And still no one is teaching about love

What happened to the book of Love??

very nice write... And I definitely agree with the message of this poem. Great video as well, it really accentuated the message of the poem. The question it ended with really gave me something to think about. Glad I read this :)

I don't know. Did Fleetwood Mac write it? And what did they do with it.

[Willard Wells]

Peter wrote it and played it with Genesis. Fleetwood Mac also recorded it. You can find it on Youtube by Fleetwood. Thanks for visiting and reading Marie.

Also a '50's hit THE MONOTONES "The Book Of Love", (Warren Davis, George Malone and Charles Patrick)
I don't know if this one made it across the pond. I expect it did, but early.

When I saw the title it immediately reminded me if the song by the same name by Fleetwood Mac. You beg the question well as we are never taught about emotions, especially love!

[Willard Wells]

The song was in my head as I wrote this to some degree and I even considered adding the music to the piece. Thanks for the read and commenting.
