We Are

We are scavengers of love,

We’ll take any scrap we can find

We are looters of love,

Shaking down and feeling up one another,

We are starved of love,

It was never given freely to us in our childhood

We are pioneers of love,

We’ve always been here and always will be

We are capable of love,

Despite all of it.
