    The Turning Point

     What will be the turning point?
       The final straw?
     
    Obviously we're going there....
       Like an uncontrollable freight train!
     
    Steaming down the tracks,
       Whistle screaming to passers-by,
          No working brake system,
             No way to stop!
     
    Am I the only one aware
       Of this catastrophe ahead?
          The only one "well" enough
             To see it coming around the bend?
     
    Am I the only one wondering
       How many casualties there'll be,
          How many lives
             will be changed
                FOREVER?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
