What Lies Beneath the Lies

On that fateful day in November in '63,
is the day that the evil shadows laughed with glee,
immediately changing JFK's course of history,
Oswald being the CIA pawn patsy,

Warren Commission saying case closed,
dead man walking down hall time froze,
Zapruder's film showing different views,
of JFK's death whereas conspiracy bloomed,

Slowing film down makes you wonder,
magic bullet, book depository blunder,
eyewitnesses meeting unusual deaths,
the shadows lies creating a domino effect,

To this day I watch in horror the famous film,
the only evidence of JFK's assassination hewn,
the lies underneath lies still buried underground,
JFK's eternal flame still flickering on his mound.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 2/16/2017 10:13:00 AM Great poem, Cheryl. Very thought-provoking subject. Dark forces in high places were in play in order for a president to get assassinated. Wonderful mental exercise this poem gives. Btw, I live down the road from a neighborhood landmark. It's a big cleaners that the brother of Jack Ruby owns and operates. Ruby is the man who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who purportedly killed Kennedy. Earl Ruby is the name of the cleaners. Love and peace, dear.

I know Jack Ruby had his hands in a lot of mafia/corrupt business's; glad you are also aware that dark forces were the main factor in assassinating Kennedy; thank you for kind comment and visit~L & P~Che :)

Daniel Turner Date: 2/16/2017 9:02:00 AM Not a conspiracy theorist, Mrs Cheryl. However I am a fan of your poem. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember my teacher was crying and it upset the entire class. They let school out early that day. Regardless of who did it, they changed the course of history. Love the write:) Login to Reply Cheryl Hoffman Date: 2/16/2017 9:08:00 AM I don't believe everything the controlled media tells me Daniel; thank God the internet lets us explore history more! I remember that day vividly too as we were let out early; then couple days later watched as Oswald got shot being escorted down the hall…knew something was horribly wrong even though I was just 6 at the time…Thank you for kind comment and visit!~Che :)
