Why?

Why waste our words
on the useless, the pointless
Why waste our words
on hurt, on pain
Why not show sympathy
give comfort, unveil passion
Why must everyday be the same


Make tears fall
in cascades, enough to drown us all
Make people collapse
hollowed out, unable to function
Make me smile
bring back, show good taste
Make yourself known
for more than this, go past words on a page

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
