When power leads a man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of his richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgement.

John F. Kennedy

I used to aspire to be like you, but then I saw your face when you got there. It said it all despite your words and I changed my mind.

Misguided

We are being misguided 
To winning 
To being right

We grieve the past 
Strive assurance
Fear the future
