    = Insanity =
    'Insanity'

    Unraveled,
    Fibers quickly fray.
    Darkness dawns,
    I look down
    Holding my rope tight.
    Am I sane?
    I look up,
    And see lies.

    All truth gone,
    I'm losing my grip.
    My eyes close,
    Heart pounding.
    Spinning in circles,
    Fearfully,
    I cry out
    "Where is truth?"

    As I twist,
    The pit below me
    Darkly waits.
    My strength fails
    Feeling it calling.
    Screaming "NO!"
    I let go
    Sanity.

    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
