Foolishness
Changedin an
instant
of awareness;
the cruelty
of its creation
scorned
her youthful body
and bridal innocence
was ripped away
to reveal
the foolishness
in believing
that love
would be enough.
--- Jaycee

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
