Jfk Airport

Looking at you I understand 
That nothing is more suitable to airports 
Than great men's names

Like a flock of birds the planes 
Take off and land
Like your thoughts, John Kennedy

I feel so small
Calling your name
Through the engines' roar

A sudden desire
To die young
In this world of mediocrity
Surrounding man eternally

Betim, excellent portrait poem using comparisons, enjoyed it. His death was a loss. Congratulations.
