    Poem Commentary

    I forgot I wrote this and found it. Nice surprise.

    Misdirected Minds

    Studied in college,

    We are all agents of our own demise.

    Having searched for knowledge,

    We have slaughtered the wise.

     

    Tournament, and temptation,

    The ornament of sensation.

     

    How the tree burns

    so bright it blinds

    time quickly passes

    but no one minds.

    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
