To separate the brain from the heart
thinking from feeling
deduction from guesswork
logic from emotions
aims from hopes
facts from fiction
ideas from hunches
insights from instincts
wisdom from idiocy
need from lust
perspective from wishful thinking
will it disinter the strong
and entomb the weak,
living in us?
deny humanity,
repudiate our assets?
misuse our ability?
condescend our rank
to that of mere machines?
For in the end,
where will imagination be
wither will belief stand
will sympathy be ensconced
will there be a breath of inspiration
a flow of creativity
a second of euphoria
can we withstand
living in a milieu of destitude
living without a life?
For in the end,
to separate the brain from the heart
a move no different from
the physical divorcing the spiritual
the body isolating the soul.

Yes, you read that right. 2004. I dug this up from my old collection and decided that it deserves a better home.
