    The Language of Self

    Trying to decipher the language of self-
       stumbling on shards of mythborn hope
       and all I come up with for the effort
       is a childrens tale for ancient children!
       The story etched by hands shaking...
       etched in a language so old and distant
       that only the heart/mind that defies
       all passing of time
       can speak it at all with any ease.
    Words forged diligently like the katana...
    designed-dreamt-deployed like viscious
       war implements-forged in the fire
       of a Mind frenzied by desire and fear.
    Mind stretching out in every direction;
       a concept littered battleground-
       an infinite charnel wasteland
      of broken ideologies and tattered dreams;
    Mind turned in on itself as it works
       and works at the koans of life-
       and forgets where the car keys are!
                                           Who is it?

    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
