Battery

Where there is a heart
That runs on no flattery
Finds a dead battery

If the law of the universe
Relied on energy , matter and force
What would we have?

There are few of us who
Are lucky to be secure in love
And the latter?

If we got all we ever wanted
What would be the point
Of waking up the next day?

If my words would grant me clarity
I'd write everyday
And overpass my vanity

This battery of mine
Is no longer fine
Why is this always the line?

For a heart
That lives on no flattery
Is a dead battery .
