    Earth

    Soft, Solid, Wet,
    Cold, Hot, Smooth,
    Rough, Natural, Concise,
    Cyclic, Surviving, and Vital.

    To some a meaningless void,
    To others a utopia,
    To me a combination,
    To all a gift.

    The world is a place of learning,
    The planet of life,
    Entering a new age,
    If taught the understanding.

    To be rich at heart,
    To be smart in love,
    To be full of understanding,
    To know no hatred.

    Like a rose or a weed,
    It is all the same,
    Like water simple and complex,
    Like the earth large, but accessible.

    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
