Silent Night
Let the evening of my demise
Be a ghastly moment to those curious
In the evening of my departure
When my heart can’t hold it anymore
And I hope to die for a principle
Or the better that I have lived of it
For I shall die before my time
Because I feel the shadow’s depth
I have accomplished my deed
And have come to grin
With the possibility of dropping
The last tear from my eyes
No doubts on the positive
Minds I left behind
I hope to rest in
A peaceful passage
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
