If They Are

If
They're loving
They're in love
With saving their fugitive skins
If they've got cravings
They're craving
Sex and power
It's envy and hatred
Driving Casanova

Unbalanced by their insatiable greed
They're actors
Playing mutiple parts
Fronting to pilfer someone else's seed

If they've found loving
They're loving dreams of a key
And an alternate heavenly fantasy
If they've found a craving
They're craving
A coveted destiny
These blighted leaves on the tree

Fool me once
Fool me twice
If they've seen love
It's a love wrapped 
Within the ultimate prize

But wait...
Is that the oft-sought grail
In the claws of a horned beast with a tail
Love it seems requires a perfect scale

If they're in any kind of a love
They're in love
With the mystical possibilities of unattainable blue

None of them are...
In love with you
These wanna-be Emperors and Empresses

If they are...

They are not
