Love is our weapon
To protect us from harm
Defense against the world
Keeping us safe and warm

Have they found our secret
Can we one day live free
Without the world crashing
Closing in on you and me

Sometimes it seems a struggle
A fight just to survive
Waging war against our hearts
Just to stay alive

Our weapon and our strength
To attack or defend
It could be wrong or right
Just let us pretend

This is our resistance
Our own hiding place
Us against the world
In this last embrace

Ah, love. A four letter word equally a shield or sword. I think your poem captures it's nature well.

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."
