Brain Versus Feelings

The human brain can outperform a million microchips -

It makes decisions, calculates and penned my poem scripts.

Impressive innovations - all were born within the mind -

Inventive thoughts enable us to elevate mankind.

Feelings, muddy waters, having benefits unclear -

Who needs pain or ecstacy - bereavement, joy or fear?

Couldn't women, men and children thrive without a heart?

Robots never cry - and Reason never falls apart.

Gazing at my lover's back and gentle curve of breast -

I, for one, would rather love than play a game of chess.
