Even Angels Will Love

By metaphormachine

Desire is

a butcher

counsellor

for honest love

a prisoner

freedom fighters

lost in

endless war

a riot

for no reason

the revolution

of freedom.

    Thanks, my dear! In German are the lines & words "Desire is / a butcher / counsellor" a very great nice wordplay, especially "butcher" has a double meaning. Unfortunately there is in English no word /in a similar or same sense ... ;)
