FIRE AND ICE by Robert Frost (1920)
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I think the Wasteland, Leaves of Grass and the epic Homeric poetry officially deserve that merit. But my favorites are Dulce Est Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen, We Are 7- Wordsworth, Tyger Tyger - Blake, Theme for English B and The ***** Speaks of Rivers - Langston Hughes, The Life After Death - Ted Hughes. Obviously this is personal and specific and it's hard to decide wheather it should be based on what has historic or personal impact. If pushed to pick one - I'd stick by Eliot's Wasteland as best and most important. We are all measuring our lives with coffee spoons . . .

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,

because 2 it you can add anything to.
That rhymes.
