    You Say/I Say

    You yell when the truth is told,

    but I just say okay.

     

    You yell when I am happy,

    I smile even more.

     

    You tell me i'm better off dead,

    I say thank you.

     

    You curse when I tell you who you are,

    I know i'm right.

     

    You say i'm stubborn, troubled, depressed? A nobody?,

    But I agree.

     

    You say I don't care,

    I say maybe I don't.

     

    You say I love you,

    I say it back...

    Thanks a lot.

    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
