Hands

I have walked past.
I have left destruction, in my wake.
I have killed those who should have lived.
I have spared those who should have died.
I have sworn oaths with my left hand.
Defending.
Only to stride across with my right.
Releasing.

I have played God, and been serious of the Devil.
I have stood tall, with 3 arrows in me, pointing at those.
Who may have felled me.

Only once did I take my helm off.
And knelt before her...
And asked forgiveness.
She gave it.

But dark is my trade, and black is my face.
And I slumber.
So that your children may see
The Sun...

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
