Lif'e Game

Pass the red ball around
Don’t let it hit the ground
Hold it too long and you’re bound
To break the rhyme and take the blame
For a mistake you made
While playing life’s game.

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
