The American Senses of Zero-Tolerance

I hear your words that their actions are illegal.

I see you standing behind the American Flag.

I smell the injustice on your breath.

I feel their waves of fear.

I taste your unwarrented vengance.

All is not fair in Love and War

John Lyly may have been the first person to record that sentiment in written form but how much truth does it hold? If all is fair in love and war, what the hell is loving even for? (JOHNNYSWIM & Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors Featuring Penny & Sparrow 2018). Can all truly be fair in love and war. Can you act anyway you want? Treat others anyway you want in the name of pursuing “love?” If you gain loving affection, but at the expense of a path of heartache and turmoil…. Did you really play the game fairly?
