"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain," from the book Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.


Love, love, love…
What is it good for?
Absolutely, nothing.

Here’s what I’m asking; he’s a
Good for nothing. Why can’t
He be good for something?

You suffer the pain of
Your body burning; why
Isn't he returning?

Burning, bodies breaking together;
Confirming.
Love, love, love….
What good is it good for?
Absolutely, nothing.

They say it means something
But what rhymes with something
-nothing. The only thing love is
Good for is Absolutely Nothing.

I like the song lyrics. Coming from a lyricist this is really good but could be better. Use some different words. Add variety. This is more of a poem than a song. Try and make it more energetic in the way you want. Cheers!

This review of "House of Cards" is well thought out and well written. This demonstrates an understanding of the social and moral complexity of this series.
