Sense Sonnet - Acher

Heartless

Love and marriage have had their times
Of ups and downs, centuries past.
But soon they will be charged as crimes
Against the state and will not last,
As the corporate life evolves,
Usurping power globally,
The human condition dissolves
Into improved technology.
Test tube procreation will start
The human cycle. In between,
To still all matters of the heart,
Programs run the "human" machine.

In the 21st century,
Love and marriage no more will be.
