    They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

    To tame a horse in freezing winter
    One plays a childish "hide and seek"
    Caress its mane with future spring
    and kiss the hazel moist with love

    Distract its pain with sandy gallops
    Along the turquoise dreams of freedom
    And while you heal the reddish wound
    Recount the legend of the horse with wings.

    There won't be saddles only clouds
    That sometimes shed rainbows of tears
    As darkness falls on killing fields
    My soul is neighing as echoes cry...

    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
