    Deluge of Despondency
    Rain pounding my soul in torrents

    Feelings of despair overwhelming
    A band around my heart restricting flow

    Non-existent love in a world deplete of compassion
    Harried existence to a futile end of unacknowledged achievements
    A specter in the streets of humanity

    Can you see me, hear me, touch me?
    I cry alone but I cry for all.

    Despair pounding my soul in torrents

    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
