    The Emptying Hourglass

     Ashes to ashes
    Dust to dust
    And Love to lust
    As we reach our end
    We realize nothing can eternally transcend
    Every hourglass will run dry
    And everyone must die
    Is not that what Life is?
    All this happiness leading up to nothing
    And if so is Life worth living?

    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
