RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: HISTORY
JFK
There are moments in our lives
Transcendent of all others
A loss that marks our souls
Like a sister or a brother
That day in Dallas sixty-three
Marked the sixties generation
The wound that made a nation bleed
Arrested our salvation
We had a dream of better days
A kinder fairer nation
That dream became a nightmare
A cold assassination
Someone somewhere has the answer
Who did the deed and why
The act that altered everything
The day our spirit died
We will return to Camelot
We take a solemn vow
Our promise and our faith renewed
A new world begins now
