Unegotiable
Death cannot be negotiated
Nor sense of loss replaced
It creeps, it crawls, it tears down life
And flees without a trace
But the lasting pain and grief
Cannot ever be subdued
As it burrows down and down
Eating happiness like food
If only, some escape was made
To run from this nightmare
But I know some fears just must be faced
After all, who said death is fair?
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
