    Forever in Costume
    Behind the mask the alter ego hides.
    Full of lies and faux happiness,
    Revealing ones true being
    Only when no one else is watching.
    The question is simple,
    The answer perplexing.
    Live in a land of pretending and conformity?
    Or lead your own life but live in ostracism?
    Society is the judge,
    Your friends, the jury.
    Instilled by fear of judgement,
    We cower forever in costume.

    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
