Why is there a belief that love
resides in the heart? When you fall in love, the butterflies are in your
stomach. When you lose someone you love, it is your lungs that feel frozen as
you gasp for breath. To Andrews love is a systemic emotion, while the heart harbors
the far more insidious. After his grandmother lost 6 of 11 children to heart
disease, she herself succumbed to a broken heart. Today, spoken word sensation
Sekou Andrews sings the stark story of America’s leading killer, heart disease.
In a fast-food society where obesity is rampant, what we love is killing us. How
many more will murder before we heed to the telltale heart?
