We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

All-Knowing
All-Knowing
The life my children lead A hidden life- Separateness I cannot share Slightly underground, unaware That I am here and there Fully tuned to their despair Omniscient parent in the air.
