    I Hear America Dying

    I hear America dying the varied sorrows I hear
    Those of storms, each one brewing near
    The mother dying as cancer eats her life away
    The father dying as he lives his life unfaithfully
    The son dying as he sleeps with everybody
    The daughter dying as she drinks her life away
    I am dying as the pain from the past comes to haunt me everyday
    Each dying slowly but surely
    The day that will turn fast into night
    Dying with open mouths
    Screaming their pleas for another chance.

    It's a very beautiful poem full of humanism and emotions.

    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.
