    Poem Commentary

    This is my reflection on going from a happy idealist to a bitter cynic and everywhere in-between. This is the view of the cynical mind and what happens when you hole yourself up and let that cynicism take you over.

    Jade-Colored Glasses

    I'm too old now,
    For my rose-colored glasses
    To fit.
    All that happened,
    Bent them quite a bit.

    So I take them off,
    And get a new pair,
    Not that anyone notices,
    Not that anyone cares.
    Now to face the world.

    These jade-colored glasses,
    Fit my head fine.
    But with all that's happened,
    I wish I was blind.
    But I can't take them off.

    I wish I'd resisted,
    Now my whole world is twisted,
    Like some Tim Burton film.
    What the Hell did I let happen?
    But I can't take them off.

    I guess they work,
    I do need to see,
    But this vision I use,
    Isn't one to suit me.
    But I can't take them off.

    They help a little.
    Hide my eyes perfectly,
    So you can't see the pain.
    I see you want to reach out,
    But I can't take them off...

    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
