    We fall,
    We get back up.
    We break something,
    We repair.
    We lose,
    We find,
    Or replace.
    We drop something,
    We pick it up.
    But what happens,
    When we destroy something that is one of a kind?
    Something so fragile,
    Unique,
    And out of the ordinary,
    That there is no replacing.
    No repairing.
    Something of so much value,
    That you would kill,
    Or be killed,
    In order to make sure it stayed whole.
    What then?

    Uniquety is something the world takes for granted all the time. They call it weird and other things. Then they do things to mutilate ate ravish the unique Breaking the it until it it is unrecognizable. What then? Is there a punishment fitting for that? should there be a punishment at all?

    What would taht something be? For some their kids, others their freedom, for me maybe my faith. What would that be for you?

    My word, for it is all I have. To be able to give it without going against it. -Never promise what you know you cannot keep, eh?-

    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
