JFK


The answer

        can be found 

        in the way his voice 

        grips onto words

        and shakes life into them. 

 

The answer 

        can be found 

        in the honesty of those words,

        truth holding wisdom

        beyond his years. 

 

He sought

        the right answer,

        not approval

        nor sympathy. 

 

He sought

        to save a nation,

        a world,

        from itself.
