687 – James A Garfield on History

“The world’s history is a divine poem, of which the history of every nation is a canto, and every man a word. Its strains have been pealing along down the centuries, and though there have been mingled the discords of warring cannon and dying men, yet to the Christian philosopher and historian — the humble listener — there has been a Divine melody running through the song which speaks of hope and halcyon days to come.”

–James A Garfield, 20th President of the United States

571 – “6:59 AM” A Poem

6:59 AM

– Shane Koyczan

I’ve been told

that people in the army

do more by 7:00 AM

than I do

in an entire day

But if I wake

at 6:59 AM

and turn to you

to trace the outline of your lips

with mine

I will have done enough

and killed no one

in the process.
