    Frustrating Fast

     Frustrating Fast

     

     

    Patrick easily finds

    himself smashing

    his fist against

    a sheet-rocked wall

    blasting through

    like a torpedo

    hitting its target

    dead on.

    He feels better

    because he never

    seems capable

    of carrying out

    the simplest plans,

    so on most days

    he finds himself

    puzzled and confused

    unable to understand

    when life comes

    at him so quickly

    from all directions,

    he gets angry,

    he can’t think

    straight no matter

    how hard he works

    he gets thwarted,

    always obstacles

    getting in the way,

    blocking him

    from arriving at

    a sense of purpose,

    so his being will

    mean much more

    than the nothing

    he feels now.

    i see again you have been walking in my dreams but remember you are the guide to your own fate.

    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
