John F. Kennedy

Good night, sweet prince,
Your passing brought deep sorrow,
The likes of you we'll never see
On any future morrow,
Endowed with talent and ability,
A man of stature and nobility,
Taken from us in his very prime,
So much he could have done
Had fate allowed him more time,
And now, all we have left are
Oil hucksters and crooked politicians,
Leaders creating deplorable conditions.
