    Pouring Water On A Drowning Man

     I try to do just what I can
    To look at him and see a man...
    As I boil my anger in a frying pan
    Pouring it on a drowning man.
    And I'm just as sick as I can be
    And Im hurting here as he can see
    And I boil my anger in the sea
    And pour it on the man...drowning in me.
    He's falling like the tears from my chin
    He's feeling the feelings that I carry within...
    And I watched him try and break my heart again
    And I watched him as he drowned in sin.
    And the aching I feel from the hole in his heart
    Is just like my body is ripping apart
    When you feel like this, you don't know where to start.
    What does it feel like to drown in the devils art?
    What does it feel like to treat me like I don't live?
    After all of the love and body I give
    How does it feel not to drown in the love I give?
    To go under in hatred that I have steamed
    To leave your world in ways that you would've never dreamed
    To find out that I am not as weak as I seemed...
    And the sparkle in your eyes has not once gleamed...
    But yet the light from me to you has always beamed.
    And when I saw me pouring water on a drowning man...
    The very same water that was my anger in a frying pan,
    My eyes told me that I had done all that I can..
    Because the more I saw him...The less he was a man...

    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
