Just a simple diary with a simple poem to express my feelings about 2008 in comparison to 1968. I wasn't alive that far back (born in 1981) but I've drawn a lot from the spirit of that decade (the 60s) and the inspirational figures that came from it.
So therefore, I give you a poem. Please enjoy and feel free to respond with your own poetry.
I leave you with a quote on poetry from JFK himself:
John F.Kennedy
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitation. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
