    Poem Commentary

    The people of Iran are on my mind.  I hear their battle cry. I hope they get what they want.

    Revolution

     Broken Bottles,  broken dreams.
    Spoken hearts,   and spoken schemes.
    Token bones,  and token screams.
    Faith in God,  and then marines.

    Crashing windows,  flashing pyres.
    Gnashing teeth, and clashing choirs.                   Trashing streets, and smashing liars.
    Hope in goodness, then cease fires.

    Raiding camps, parading looters.
    Fading troops, cascading shooters.
    Aiding victims of polluters.
    Love of life, here comes recruiters.

    Then peace comes upon the land.
    All deceased lay in the sand.
    New police are in command.
    Press release, at last not banned.

          Revolution Understand?
                     And...
    Faith, Hope, Love, begin again.

    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
