A BRIEF GLANCE

Forty years of History
Written on this World’s stage
Remembering the President
Who turned our History’s page.

A young, handsome, Statesman
Who gave us all that hope
Until that day in Dallas
And, a cheap rifle with a scope.

The shots rang out and echo
Even until this very day
Images burnt in our mind’s eye
That, will never go away.

Lone gunman or conspiracy?
It seems we will never know
If there was a "magic bullet"
Fired from that sixth floor window.

We had "Camelot" for awhile
And saw a bright future ahead
But all those visions were replaced
With that, "Eternal Flame", instead.

November 22nd, 2003

Because he was young?
Because it was the 60's?
Because it couldn't happen here?

I remember the day. I was 7 yrs. old and in the 1st grade. I cried. It was a VERY sad day. I remember wanting to go home and be where my mother was.
Love,
Terri~

The mysterious "bullet" that saw its way into the Texas governor's lung was a clever plot indeed..too bad that America lost such a bright mind, appreciated your post.

i wasnt alive to witness it, but it's almost like i was when i hear it from you

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...
