Poem Commentary

The current state of our union, the devastating effects of an economic downturn in our beloved United States of America creates within my soul...A surge of emotional turmoil.

A SURGE OF EMOTIONAL TURMOIL

Heart wrenching agony and self-defeat,

 Continuously threaten to invalidate

Our inner peace and joy.

 Worry casts large shadows

 Of disillusionment over us.

Beneath the layers of our personalities

Are wrappings of perplexities and problems.

 Setbacks, disappointments,

Misunderstandings

 So overwhelming.

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

Reverse the trend and calm the storm...

For sorrow assails and,

 Terror draws near.

The pebble has now become a mountain

Much too high for us to climb.

Rescue us from the deepening gloom

Overshadowing our world.

Solve the devastating problems of humankind.

Grant us strength to overcome,

 As we stand grounded

 In the truth of your love.

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
