    FINAL INTROSPECTION
    i journeyed deep into my darkest jungle
    slowly i cut a path through the thick foliage
    chopping and hacking my way
    into unchartered territory
    suddenly from out of nowhere
    appeared a large beast
    the most hideous creature i had ever seen
    horned and tailed
    eyes glowing like fire
    growling and gnashing it's teeth
    terrified i stopped dead in my tracks
    i knew i must destroy this beast
    or surely be devoured
    quickly i pulled my weapon
    and drew down on the creature
    as we stood motionless our eyes met
    then laughing i lowered my weapon
    for i realized the beast was only my reflection
    i then
    raised the gun to my head

    I WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE STORY BUT I WAS READY FOR A FUNNY LINE LIKE "AND IT WAS MY BROTHER" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, I SEE WHERE THIS WAS GOING ALSO. IT TURNED OUT TO BE SCAREY AFTER ALL.

    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
