Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole

Sirhan Sirhan Denied Parole

By Elton Camp

This is a name that many won’t recall
But for murder, none would know at all
Robert Kennedy was a leading candidate
When Sirhan Sirhan gave in to his hate

With a crowd of supporters stood about
He there shot the man with an evil shout
To assassinate him, Sirhan did choose
Because he stood in support of the Jews

The name may sound like one of Islam,
But from a “Christian” the shots had come
Sirhan now claims he doesn’t recall a thing
But the parole board for this didn’t spring

This was despite the firm agreement that neither of the two killers would ever be let out of prison. The other one was murdered in prison or he might have been released also. Elton

Louis Rams March 7, 2011 at 8:55 AM how clearly i recall that incident and they say he has a right to go in front of a parole board. i think not !

That was widely reported at the time, but with the wave of hatred of Islam, some have begun to identify him falsely as an adherent of that faith. Sirhan comes up for parole consideration again in five years. Elton
