I’ve Failed


I’ve failed to see or understand
the logic used and your demand
that all the world comply, accede
to errant thoughts. I will not heed
your words and live my life as planned.

I know you feel your way is grand
but don’t you think life would be bland
without eclectic paths. Your need
I’ve failed to see.

I will not judge you out of hand
nor wish to add an ampersand
to who you are so I will plead
that you reciprocate. Don’t lead
me down that route of shifting sand
I’ve failed to see.

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.
