Medical Technology Advances
The time will come when someone will invent
A scanner for the human heart. Clear views
Resulting in a pure astonishment
Will force high-minded lovers to refuse
The findings. Expectations will be scrubbed.
For those who thought that simple affection
Would dominate, they’ll feel that lust has rubbed
It out … anywhere there’s an erection.
And if a little bit of sentiment
Survives this fleshly onslaught, then pure greed
For money and for status will make bent
Emotions. Sweet self-interest is our creed.
What truthful cardiac scanners reveal
Is women want fine houses, men a feel.
