Inspiration from Carl Sanburg’s Grass
I am the wind
That rustles the leaves
On the ground
As the man starts on the
Hunt.
The man grabs
At the women and holds her.
I am the wind
That covers her screams
The man strips and hits
The women and tackles
Her to the ground
I am the wind that shoves
The leaves in the air
And covers their scene
The man rapes
And beats her.
I am the wind
With no eyes to tell
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
