Matter Over Mind

There is no touch Only the reaction of our nerve endings There is no feel Only the chemicals in our brain There is no kiss Only movements of the mouth There is no love Only the drive for reproduction and companionship There is no logic Only deliberation of our wants and needs There is no rationale Only a combination of words we like There is no happiness Only a feeble heart whose mood often changes There is no depression Only a feeble mind who lacks a human need There is no humanity Only animals walking on their hind legs There is no intelligence Only a false superiority over other animals There is nothing Only what we convince ourselves
