Brain Versus Heart

"Anarchy! Anarchy!" Slithered the tongue

"Order! Order!" Shrieked, Lord Lungs 

And so wane the day - when it's Heart or Brain

Drunk in orphins, with a punch of choline;
Braino Brain without a grin, climbed high the podium.

It was he who should rule, not that Hearty Heart 
That crimson fool!

"Gentle vitals, herald my plea!
I,the captain of this ship
've steered us all ,
Away from hardship

Thinking and acting ,
Reasoning and reacting;

Pray explain! Why at day's end
It's the red's charm that reigns?

Assertions and reason's chimes,
Had I not sung thousand times;

But lo! The traitor 
Blind in love,

Bluffing his ways,
And like fool we played.

Alas! the end we all failed.



O broken heart !
You smothered us all,
Stung with phantom pain
How you 'd acted lame;

Tormented the ears with melancholy tunes 
Starved the gut with no food
And how you casted an evil spell 
That for days the eyes swell.

Noble hepato have you relinquished the taste? 
Of toxin burnt within thee
Baffling my own cognition
When he raged broken! broken!
Drunk day and night.

Had not my logics prevailed,
The fool almost turned us pale !

Nah! no more shall we draw blank
Upon his cruel prank

Let us all abdicate him.
Lock him up, behind a cage

Never allow this fool,
To fall in love again !"
