The Human Heart |
In our day-to-day experience it has always been concealed |
In the operating theater it now may be revealed |
I saw the glistening human heart lying in repose |
So tender and so vulnerable, beating and exposed |
The human heart is a lustrous thing |
A wondrous thing, the human heart |
Look at the patient lying open wide |
It cannot hide |
The human heart |
It has a passionate temperament, as everybody knows |
Gushing grandiose sentiments as a toilet overflows |
Throwing violent tantrums and prone to fits of rage |
It can’t keep still, it rolls around in its ribcage |
The human heart is a preposterous thing |
A monstrous thing, the human heart |
Enlisting sympathy with vulgar sobs |
It pounds and throbs |
The human heart |
And yet it lives for love and duty at its own behest |
A lifetime through of work to do with ne’er a moment’s rest |
Sustaining vital organs, anointing them with blood |
Devout in its vocation of vital organ-hood |
The human heart is an untiring thing |
An inspiring thing, the human heart |
Despite the heartaches of the rolling years |
It perseveres |
The human heart |
What strange abomination holds fancy over fact |
What byzantine mutation would love what can’t love back |
What kind of freak of nature forgives a heinous crime |
And leads us towards as yet untraveled paths to the sublime |
The human heart is an inscrutable thing |
An immutable thing, the human heart |
The human heart is an untiring thing |
An inspiring thing |
A preposterous thing |
A monstrous thing |
A lustrous thing |
A wondrous thing |
The human heart |
