My spiritual heart
A pool of both
Sweet and bitter words
Coming out of
The same tap
Called mouth
My physical heart
A pumping machine
With four Chambers
C!injected to two
Aorta and vein
Pipes inletting
Fresh blood
And outletting
Dirty blood
Take care
Of
Your spiritual
Heart
That no
Gossip
Defiled
Your spirit
Take care of your
Carnal heart
By not ingesting
Trash nor
Fatty
Debris that
Collects in heart
Blocking its
Pipes
Resulting in
Coronary seizures
And
Cult de sac
Of precious life
To RIP
