According To JT

"United there is little we cannot do in a host
of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we 
can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge
at odds and split asunder."

 "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country
cam do for you; Ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America
will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom
of man." 

                                                         (John F. Kennedy, 1961)

I've written out my thoughts in ink,
Of what I had to say;
Each line was empty,
To proceed,
Then strode a very play;
Emotions into poetry,
Is what I have to prove;
Like Markan priority,
First, and instantly,
To you –
