Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio
not many know he's the son of Jack Rubio
and who was he?
the guy who offed Oswald between luncheon and tea.

Clara Oswald Who
The Doctor's secret wife—who knew?
Returned from September's honeymoon
By way of last year's month of June

Lambs To Slaughter

Sometimes,
the very best informed
remain the most naïve

Cronkite
in 1963,
“Oswald Was The One”

The Mob sat back
and licked their chops,
“Bobby’s Finished Now”

As millions mourn
in false belief
—and Warren to mislead

(Crazy Horse Memorial: Black Hills South Dakota, September, 2021)

Premium Member It's Not Byron's Fault, Anyway

Byron didn't wait for me.
Across the hall Becky tried not to look.
Chalk was everywhere.
Knuckles was already suspended.
Trailing the varsity jackets I
Oscillated between chic and irreverent.
Someone yelled, "barf!"
Charades and hustlers cover every inch.
How am I going to find my locker?
Oswald points me to "304."
Oblong and wrong I walk there.
Looking forward, looking backward.

November Twenty-Second

Forty-eight years ago
JFK died.
If you were living then,
You must have cried.

TV ran on and on – 
Pink hat and shots;
Oswald and Ruby
Connecting the dots.

Bloodstains on Jackie,
The LBJ pledge;
All of America
Sitting on edge.

John John saluted,
The widow in black.
Innocence ended
And never came back.

Each twenty-second
The month of November,
Those moments flash back
And I pause to remember.

Moving On

SEEING BEAUTY IN IMPERFECTION
Christina Oswald
December 06, 2013



Imperfect hollow inside no turning back
Closed door open no more
A chapter to a book hopefully forgotten
Pages yellow, tattered, and broken
An innocence and heart stolen
Time lost not to be regained
Moving on, step by step
No time or room for regret
Stronger upon each step 
Moving on is easy, but the reasons hard to forget

Truthbomb

Natural resources plundered worldwide
Everyone's a suspect
Watching us and all we do

Working our fingers to the bone until the day we die
One world government the ultimate plan
Rights to free speech being violated
Lets spare a thought for the third world nations
Disease and death on the daily

Oswald the patsy 
Rockefeller Rothschild Rich Rich Rich
Do celebrities really need 20 million dollars per movie
Educate yourself, read a book, open your mind
Revolution
