    THE Siwash ROCK

     THE Siwash ROCK
    by George C. Palaganas(a.k.a. Cool Dela Peña)
    Hail to the guard of the Stanley peninsula!
    Bring all their might in the fairness of Hudson
    Sailors,oilmen and freighters
    adore all the splendor of this valley.
    Hail to the monument of the Self-less god!
    Ring all their vows in the beauty of the Frazer
    Runners,bikers and walkers
    speak of its majesty as they pass this alley.
    Behold the embrace of a nearby Lion's Gate
    And listen to the sound of waves beneath
    wake-up the hustle and bustle
    of the whole Victoria Island pack.
    Behold the grace of a lonesome rock
    a recluse for pelicans and seagulls alike
    Nothing more and nothing will be
    is so enkindling as the Siwash ROCK.

    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
