In The Pursuit Of Love

Continually tryin', to get through all the lyin'

Especially when seeking an internet date

Definitely it's not the same as it used to be

In one's quest, to find a compatible mate

A sterile way and at the end of the day

Such an impersonal path to walk

People can be whomever they choose

From a canary, a dove to a hawk

Surely so much to ponder, as down that road you wander

Trying to keep a positive attitude

You meet them all, fat, thin, short and tall

Some real nice and a few, just outright rude

A lot have not a pot for pissing or a pit for hissing

And for most, it's just a form of entertainment

A way of getting lost and at little cost

A victim of, cyberspace containment

Most simply get caught up in the game and it's truly a shame

With the majority, not even giving it a chance

They continue to text, with whomever is next?

In this, virtual reality realm romance

A few will offer to pay their share, suppose 'cause they feel it's fair

And most are there, just to dine

One ponders trying to make sense of it all

When the impetus is not love, it's an outing for food and wine

It's so difficult texting on line and trying to find

You're not even known and yet they will conclude

A concept they hatch and yes, we're not a match

And so many sentences, getting misconstrued

Trying to de-cypher the truth from beneath and lies through the teeth

You push in an attempt to meet

Be aware and also we know it's not fair

But be prepared, for overt deceit

So what happened to the atmosphere of yesteryear?

Of finding that special person, that all us dream of

And do you think, it only happens on the movie screen

In the quest to find true love?
