A handsome man, a valiant son,
John Kennedy was he.
A man who rose to President
with civil rights the key.

Who can forget the many days
like Camelot they seemed,
when all eyes were on Washington,
they passed just like a dream.

Ah, we remember Jacqueline
a Vassar deb was she,
who walked with...

He came from a prominent family,
his achievements not denied.
In school a straight "A" scholar,
in the Navy served with pride.

In the war he was heroic,  
where his life was on the line, 
which is documented in the movie, 
titled "PT 109".

1956 he wrote "Profiles in...

John Jack Kennedy
was as brilliant as could be
A studied Harvard graduate
A navy hero of the sea

He was from Massachusetts
A lover of the dunes
and used to walk beside them
on summer afternoons

He was a much loved President
His spoken word was magic
I never did understand why
his ending was...

Looking at you I understand 
That nothing is more suitable to airports 
Than great men's names

Like a flock of birds the planes 
Take off and land
Like your thoughts, John Kennedy

I feel so small
Calling your name
Through the engines' roar

A sudden desire
To die young
In this world of...

Not so easily
trapped am I as 
I thought. 

But I fought
for straightness
and White picked 
Fences. 

Until holy
Matrimony you 
Came and I Fell
For it. 

But let's 
undo these knots
Now. And Like
Jackie Onassis
I am Marilyn

And you are
Not safe....

One sunny day a tall, lithe man 
slowly climbed the steps.
Some saw him as the bringer of peace.
Others as the new beacon of understanding.
But he was simply a man,
by birth an American,
by nature, Irish.
He plodded forward,
hampered by the pain in his back,
and more so, by...

Few now remember the horror of November 22nd
The year was 1963, and it seems a long time ago,
But by American history and memories reckoned
The death of the president far eclipsed Mar-a-Lago.

On that day President John F. Kennedy was killed,
Shot to death in old Dealey Plaza...

JFK - THE NIGHT BEFORE
We'll nevermore mention 
some things we could tell,
your struggle so long getting here,
there's no man in heaven 
who's not been through hell
nor never a man without fear;

Your world must go on
 in just part of a day,
with what you've been doing...

JFK Improves With the Passing Decades

By Elton Camp

With all the praises being heaped today
Dare I speak negatively of Pres JFK?

For his legacy, death proved to be ideal
Making him a myth far removed from real

I was still a young man when he died
But well recall that...

President John F Kennedy,
made America space ready,
shot when in the prime of his life,
he died next to his loving wife!

My life and your years on this Earth—flashbacks—everything was in black and white. I remember 1963: John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas. My teachers cried. Not me. I was in grade three. Superman, Davy Crockett...

Ngo Dinh Diem thought America was a friend
That turned out badly, he met a bloody end
A State Department cabal thought he denied human rights
They pulled the plug and turned off the lights
JFK agreed he had to go, Diem was hurting our side

She scrambled
from where she sat
in the back seat
climbing onto the
trunk of that
long luxurious Lincoln
not to escape an
assassin's assault
as many assumed
but to collect the shards of
skull and bits of brain
that had been blown
back onto it as a bullet
blasted a hole in his head
his body lolling over...
