No corpse shall rot
We eat the flesh of Camelot...

Camelot slain with JFK
  Blood-stained guilt from MLK
Hope left town when Bobby died
  ~ These shootings left us horrified...

what wistful phoenix
sleeps within the blood of leaves- 
dreams of Camelot
part the mists of Avalon
new knights of scarlet satin...

llama mama drama
plays out when he discovers
he’s not the baby daddy,
“I guess alpaca now!”

Laid to rest,
Beside his
Two brothers,
Here, we nest,
In providence
These gentlemen of Camelot
Sir Edward Kennedy,
May you rest in peace...

Be still my darling Camelot
Beautiful darling love of my heart

   In the name of a certain Kennedy
     I hope you'll take me seriously

   Ask not what 2024 can do for you
     Ask what you can add

     JFK, he was shot dead
     sixty years ago today

        Camelot, it fell apart
        America lost her way

Camelot produced two tots
Caroline, and John Junior...
How their mother cried when their father died!
   Instead of rebuilding a productive chassis
   ~ She went gold-digging and married Onassis...

A hot wind blew that day 
as I gazed down from the 
hills of Tintagel
to the emerald sea and white foam below
that crashed against ancient rocks
and marvelled at ruins 
that once was Camelot......

JFK delivered a rousing speech on Inauguration Day
Peace Corps, New Frontier, Camelot -- He had so much to say

   Yet so many folks don't recall any of that
   All they remember's he took off his hat...

Fierce mythical dragons 
Legends galore
Galloping determined steeds,
Knighthood and more.

King Arthur’s round table
Loves of Queen Guinevere
Come to the library, friend. 
They will always be near....

November 22, 1963
  Camelot came crashing down
From a sniper's single bullet
  aimed all too perfectly

A lone gunman took the life
  of John F. Kennedy
And stole the heart of America
  innocent nevermore to be...

I try to reach profundity
but all around make fun of me
for living life with simpler goals
like learning and tranquility.

So now I'm leaving all I've got 
to quest for my own Camelot.
Requiring only books and pen
I'm setting off to find my spot....

I'm a king only when I'm sound 
a sleep 
Quest for knowledge I'm in 
Camelot 
When I dream 
visions what I see 
Floating way up high but my 
body's at my feet 
That's the feelin when u lucid 
shit just isn't what it seems 
What's reallity...

In Camelot there was a bold knight
And for him nothing seemed to go right
Fell off his horse with a thud
Into some slurry and mud
Now his armour no longer shines bright.

Reigning in his own demise,
the alcoholic stumbles

Falling from the ramparts high,
hard upon the ground

A monarchy of lost regret,
in anger’s shame he crumbles

Trapped inside a broken dream
—heartache’s thorny crown

Horizon of knelling bells
Adequate feeling bestowed
Hue, odor, sound, sensation
Harmoniously dwell
Tangible gnosticism
Catharsis
Potency yells
Largess
Ample satisfaction
Darkness, Thy power quells
Allah, family, thought

Camelot...Freedom
 
Allah: Arabic word for God...

And it came to pass the Lion sleeps at last.
The heart sinks as the pain reacts so fast.
Our prestigious Camelot, where have they gone?
Without them, the World goes on.
So much emptier they say.
Hard to know a sadder day.

In memory of Edward Moore Kennedy
1932 - 2009
Rest in peace...
