Plastic Hearts

We exist in a world of plastic
All things composed of plastic parts;
Plastic people with plastic hearts.

Gone unadulterated hearts
Emotional, affectionate, benevolent hearts.
Afflicted, sorrowing, broken hearts.
Gone! Part of an era far far gone.

'Tis a sad fate indeed.
Hearts as if of plastic with self-seeking aims.
Absent tender love and empathy.
Merciless hearts, brutal, like plastic.
Simulated, passionless, indestructible.
A garbage dump of imperturbable plastic hearts.

From whence comes consolation for genuine souls?
Souls with hearts that emote,
Soar, love, empathize, anguish, break.
Where cometh the comfort for those archaic souls?
Adherents to the beating heart.
Hearts that are crying, dying, murdered hearts.
Strangled in the maze of plastic people
With cold dispassionate plastic hearts.
