Michael, a wonderful poem! ! ! I remember that day, for every one, time stopped. I had missed a school day, home on the farm, sick in bed. Mother came to my room, gave me the news. I went downstairs, my mother and I watching the news, on our 1 channel TV. A deserving 10.
I appreciate your singular comment Darwin. In the weekend I read 'Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye', By K. O'Donnell and Dave Powers-a good book by two his aides. I also read 'The Dark Side of Camelot', by Seymour Hersh. I have read very many books about the assassination too. JFK continues to fascinate me, not quite the hero worship of my youth, but admiration for a man of strengths and weaknesses.

an interesting sad poem of a shocking event were the truth is still to be revealed? ............well written.
Yes, it was a sad elegy about a very sad event. Some say that the full truth is yet to be revealed: others say it has been. I think that all the truth would be known had Oswald not been shot and he had then been given a fair trial. What Ruby did was totally unjustified and actually covered up the truth. Thanks for your comment, Tom.
