The Fifty Percent Rule [Today's News Poem, April 10, 2010]
"An aging Russian airliner carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski and members of his country's military, political and church elites crashed in thick fog Saturday as it took them to a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the slaughter of thousands of Polish military officers by Soviet secret police."

If half of human works is made of will
The other half is made of nature—fate.
If Machiavelli's laughter sounds too shrill,
Remember--Mani's words will not abate
The sting of plans that fail and fall apart
Nor tell where goodness ends and evil starts.
