    Only A Voice Mail

    They came back from vacation, frantic,
    their daughter missing,
    only a voice mail, just one,
    no trace, no evidence, none,
    she cried, and he worried more and more,
    blood stains on the floor,
    and broken fingernails in the bedroom door,
    unsettling, horrifying,
    mortifying, terrifying,
    everyone crying,
    no evidence left behind,
    no reasons why,
    nothing to go by,
    only a voice mail,
    in this never-ending tale.

    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
