“The same hand that can write a beautiful poem, can knock you out with one punch—that's Poetic Justice.”
In this quote, "Irish" Wayne Kelly highlights the duality of human nature, emphasizing that the same individual who possesses creative talent and beauty can also have the capacity for aggression and violence. This concept of poetic justice suggests that there is a balance in the world, with both positive and negative forces at play. It serves as a reminder that individuals are complex and multifaceted, capable of both creating and destroying. Kelly's words prompt us to consider how beauty and brutality can coexist within the same person.
“Compassion and toughness can go together.”
“I write poetry not for publication but merely to kill time. Airplanes are a good place to write poetry and then throw it away. My collected works are mostly on the vomit bags of Lufthansa.”
