Farewell, Charlie Kirk

Charles Kirk, conservative political activist, author, and media personality was assassinated in Utah on Sept 10, 2025

A world of common sense is stifled
A loss for all of us, indeed
Whoever killed him used a rifle
In vicious, vile, heinous deed

We knew him all and his compassion
Someone who spoke the honest truth
Defending freedom with a passion
And gifting hope to our youth

He may be gone, yet seeds he planted
Shall germinate and bear fruit
Ascend to Pearly Gates was granted
So sad his voice is now on mute

It’s one of those turning points
That twists the country on its head
Time shall make sense at this checkpoint
What we have lost with Charlie’s dead

Whoever did this want us chained
And walking left instead of right
May not this loss be their gain
Farewell, C. Kirk, one noble knight

Wonderful tribute. A great young voice who fought for freedom of speech and one of the few who promoted the exchange of ideas and constructive debate with those of opposing views. And so the gun debate is back in the spotlight. In the political sphere it’s clear guns don’t kill people, Democrats kill people! So many of them are so unhinged it’s not surprising they resort to political violence to silence the rest of us.
