Mercy’s Valentine

Isn’t it mostly better
to decide on the side
of mercy haven’t we
gotten that much
crystal yet maybe
half of us have and
the other half the cold
intellectual rule-bound
half hasn’t which explains
its faithless resort
to power and knowledge
when it comes time
to solve human problems
the heart is still the step-child
sent out to live in the streets
