Passions are known to produce more than Valentines
But that’s not to say a cool mind’s not a threat –
The crimes of the heart are indeed bloody crimes
No, the hard part is simply to never forget
That a heart and a mind are part of a whole
each has its weakness, its limit, its flaw
And mutual indenture is not a bad goal
So clemency’s sweetness must temper the law
To vote for just feelings, to vote for pure reason
Affronts man’s integrity when brave hearts are sinking
A mind that is open to laughter’s not treason
and no better bouy than a wink in one’s thinking
It’s balance brings beauty, or so it would seem:
Laws must have pardons – sane men, a sweet dream
