For the young readers, you had to be there to know what it was like. We need another young president, and patriotic president, for these changing times.

JFK By Franklin Price 11/22/2020 What do you remember, About this day, in '63? Do you remember Dallas, And the horror there to see? JFK's assassination As he was driving by Camelot was dying We could only watch and cry Where would we have been today, If that die had not been cast? Would we be reflecting On a very different past? Would the parties get along? Red and Blue sides be the same? Not as they were way back then, Now play a different game. When Kennedy took office These words of his still fit It's Not what this country does for us But what we do for it The Washington we see today Has questioned this a bit What can this country do for us? What can we do to it?
