[bodytext] => Last night I saw John Kennedy I saw him in a dream He asked me what the world had done Since he had last been seen I told him about Vietnam In 1965 How Ho Chi Min had won the fight And 60,000 died I told him about Dr. King How he may have died for naught They gunned him down in Memphis Though his hands they never fought They shot your brother Bobby too For no reason at all Cameras snapped his picture as The world prepared to bawl I told about Watergate ‘twas Richard Nixon’s shame The good name of the President Has never been the same I told him of no gasoline And rations of all kinds Iran had taken hostages So stations filled with lines I told him of Khomeini Of how we sold him arms And how the name of President Again came into harm I told about Desert Storm The nothing that it did We bombed all the civilians While guilty parties hid I told him of the terrorists Guerillas without guns We’ve got ourselves into a war That we know cannot be won And Kennedy he told me As he broke down and cried The world would be a better place If only I hadn’t died [comments] => 3 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 41 [informant] => bobbyzimmerman [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
