The Emptying Hourglass

The Emptying Hourglass

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
And Love to lust
As we reach our end
We realize nothing can eternally transcend
Every hourglass will run dry
And everyone must die
Is not that what Life is?
All this happiness leading up to nothing
And if so is Life worth living?

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
