Hallow Eve

I wrote this one when my kids were little and still enjoyed trick-or-treating. I know it is kind of short, but it says what I wanted to convey.

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
