    8-1-10 untitled 2
    we live like everything is forever

    when life is only temporary

    complacent we cannot afford to be

    in effect it's apathy

    life is short we're fond to say

    because we don't know how long we can stay

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
