Premium Member The Annals of History

Review the annals of history
   Murder upon murder you'll see

Start with Adam and Eve's son, Cain
   Who murdered his brother Abel in vain

Then there's Moses, the saintly lawgiver
   Who murdered an Egyptian taskmaster and shivered

The greatest of playwrights, Shakespeare, didn't hedge his bets
   He wrote of murder in 'Julius Caesar,' 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo & Juliet'

What of Abe Lincoln's assassin, Mr. John Wilkes Booth?
   His name lives all these years later, verily and forsooth

There's Lee Harvey Oswald, shot JFK -- ended Camelot
   Else his name wouldn't be worth a pee in a pot

Can't forget the serial killers, whose souls are damned:
   Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, Son of Sam
 
Not to mention the 'iconic' socialists you all know:
   Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Idi Amin also
   
In this century you don't have to rack your brain
   We've had Osama bin Laden, Bashar Assad, Sadam Hussein...

As for 'professionals,' Bonnie & Clyde are your bank robbers
   And how about ('Scarface') Al Capone for a celebrity mobster?

So, you want your name to be ever remembered?
   Just commit a few murders: Behead and dismember!

Proven

today it has been proven that our justice system does'nt represent justice. it just 
fixes things the way they want things to be fixed. today a murderer was judged not 
guilty and will soon walk free from the crime that they commited. they may have 
escaped man but they still have to face God. they should have paid man. maybe it 
was an accident with choloraform. but everything else she did added it up to 
murder. today a jury assasinated justice just like james earl ray killed martin luther 
king and just like lee harvey oswald killed john f. kennedy just like john wilkes booth 
killed abraham lincoln and all i can say is et tu brute to our judicial system. i must 
admit the defence did their jobs well but now they know they did it too well because 
the eyes of true Justice will be apon them for their crimes. and so this is how the media planned on how to keep milking this cash cow indefinatly.

Some Folks Are So Gullible

Some Folks Are So Gullible

By Elton Camp

Pity those who believe anything others say
People like that are certain Lincoln was gay
FDR was a sorry presidential ball of slime
Who knew about Pearl Harbor ahead of time

And 9-11 would’ve never happened that way
Except for conspiracy by Bush and the CIA
It was somebody else who John Kennedy shot
And Lee Harvey Oswald it most surely was not

And the moon landings didn’t ever take place
Lies by astronauts and NASA are a disgrace
President Obama in darkest Africa was born
Jesus is coming back 2011 on a May morn

A report that a UFO has crashed on some beach
To accept as fact would be easily in their reach
Any lesson in common sense they can’t learn
So the title of “Lunatic” they have come to earn

Premium Member Beginning of the Downfall

I was a senior in high school and I still remember
That Friday afternoon in late November
Early dismissal after saying a prayer
Disbelief and sadness filling the air

He was a man with vision and a silver tongue
He was the type of leader who inspired the young
A political wisdom in spite of his youth
They appointed a commission to suppress the truth

A Russian immigrant would be accused of the crime
They had him shot to give the cover up more time
Witnesses died mysteriously over the next five years
Media controls what the nation hears

Too many questions still unanswered today
With government involvement they all got away
The story on every radio and television station
Watching the beginning of the downfall of a nation.

   In my heart, I believe Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby
And the American people were all victims of a cover up
By our own government. God Bless JFK.

History Lesson

HISTORY LESSON

I.

Sweet Joe McCarthy who will fill your shoes
Keeping down the reds and making them sing the blues
Your spirit lives on in these modern days
Teaching us to hate in many different ways.

II.

Poor Lee Harvey Oswald I see you sitting there
Living your life with out a simple care
Sitting quietly behind the grassy knoll 
Waiting for the right moment to lie to us all. 

III.

Wise ole’ Ronald Reagan you taught me one thing
That life simply has no meaning
By simply doing a good deed
When you can be driven by greed. 

IV.

Honest George W. Bush you are not the only one to blame
For making the youth pawns in your sick game
Spilling blood on foreign soil
Only to bring back opiates and oil.

Can a Historian Explain This

Lincoln elected to Congress in 1846
Kennedy elected to Congress in 1946 
Lincoln elected President in 1860
Kennedy elected President in 1960 
Lincoln's secretary named Kennedy 
Kennedy's Secretary named Lincoln 

Both concerned with Civil Rights
Both lost children in White House
Both shot on a Friday in the Head 

Lincoln shot at the theater named Ford
Kennedy shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by Ford
Lincoln shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse
Kennedy shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater 

Both assassinated by Southerners
Both assassins were known by their three names
Both names are composed of fifteen letters 
John Wilkes Booth born in 1839
Lee Harvey Oswald born in 1939
Booth and Oswald assassinated before their trials 

Both succeeded by Southerners named Johnson
Andrew Johnson born in 1808 
Lyndon Johnson born in 1908
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland 
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe
