Poem Commentary

I wrote this a few years ago. Something this morning reminded me of it, so I thought I would share it.

UNRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES

I need a lawyer
Please get one quick
Not just any one will do
"Cause this divorce will be the worst
By the time that it is through
See, I'm being hurt real bad
The fighting never ends
There is no break between the blows
I never have time to mend
The property, that's the easy part
It all belongs to me
The tricky part, I'm sure you know
Is who gets custody
You must work fast without delay
Don't know how much more I can handle
The other cases you have tried
Couldn't possibly hold a candle
Didn't you see this from the start
The abuse I'm living is from no man
It's my head against my heart
Told you this would be a tough one
It's as hard as it can be
I don't want to leave my husband
Just the thoughts inside of me

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
