“Now for an important News Flash…”
The voice on the television said
That he was shot and now is dead;
The man was deemed, to be the rock
So deep now, was the shock.
The 35th, to be elected
Last thing ever, was expected.
For he was, the only hope
How will the people, ever cope?
First choice of, the new age
Now chaos confusion, fear and rage.
With the faithful, left in a daze
Only able, to utter praise.
Christ no, it can’t be true
Anyone one else, but not you!
None more, the neglected held dearer
Meant to be, a brand new era.
Behold the setting, of the sun
Cursed by evil, with a gun.
Life’s a swindle, a bitter con
First he is, then he’s gone;
Conspiracy theories, truth or lie
Mourners need, the reason why.
Icon of, the people poor
Passing through, deaths open door.
In Arlington, his body laid
The devoted weep, they feel betrayed
The theft of hope – was truly callous
On that mournful day, in a town called Dallas.
“….its now 12:30 pm central standard time…….”
