Tribute to the late Pierre Burton What do I know about this person aside from Front Page Challenge just the manner of inquiry and a confidence that permeated his reportage This could be any man but loss comes with his departure the reported loss of this one who'd be the next peon to go? a man accused of arrogance confident in life sure of the next interview unafraid to address controversial issues inform the public as objectively as humanly possible. Who was this man in the who's who of life? what can one know of somebody? and it's always we don't know the value of the person until it's too late to laud him in life we were so busy to uncover faults aside from admonishing the talents.

Hey Martin, I don't know this Journalist but they sound like a very important person. This poem also sounds like our vet who just retired. :-) Within this heart you'll find love |

the poem can make you think of any number of people who lead an active professional life and then retire from the scene or withdraw into oblivion..or pass on. It's always best to recognize what they do before the scythe falls. |
