Substituted

Man’s instinct is to sow his seeds in as many fields
So that the seeds would grow to remind of him later.
Man substitutes, now, with ‘leaving his mementos’ likewise
So that they stay there to remind his women of him.

Savaged man practised polygamy.
Civilized man does poly-hearts.
Sex is shifted- physical to psycho.
