Jennings Writer of: Poetry & Prose Referred By:Just wondered in.	Man – Kind? A man, empty inside, but outward mien belies the fact that soul and heart are scarred by life’s experience and what was seen so long ago when nation’s children warred for reasons, yet unknown. Much like today, where youth is wasted in some foreign land and leaders of the world have naught to say. I feel it’s time for peace and love; demand to know why some would lead us down that path while death, disease and sickness seem ignored. Take heed of those instead of greed and wrath for this small world is dying by the sword. New Edens wait upon a spectral shore where waves of peace may susurrate once more. ·············· When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner
