Human Heart Poem by AHO Speaks

The heart has no memory or conscious thought
It does what it does and it does it a lot.

A heart leaves no legacy but the mind certainly can
Thoughtful participation usally denied the gender of woman.

The heart can not think nor have a simple thought
Nor can it produce an answer that is earnestly sought.

The heart can be replaced but the mind can not
Under the human dome all answers of right and those of naught.

The heart is an organ used as a pump
No bigger than your hand or the sizeof an average lump.

A heart has no conscience and certainly not a brain
It allows not for choice or decisions and best described as vain.

You can listen to your heart but will only hear the thump
It serves the mind and body well when it functions as a pump.

Customs and traditions has carried it this far along
Mostly in greeting cads and candies but also poignantly in song.

The primary function of the heart is not to provide for thought
Nor is it a chalice for questions and to receive answers; for what is avidly sought.
