Vanity
Vanity
Go out young man and enjoy your life,
Once you have seen the world be happy.
Do not be afraid or let others deter you.
Love and truth are a part of your quest,
Only you will know, be honest with yourself.
Value yourself as well as others, this will help you find
Empathy with everything you meet
So you will need to posess love and compassion
You will experence hardship, sorrow and pain,
On your journey do not encourage vanity
Until you can love without fear, you may suffer...
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
