~John and Bobby We Want You To Know~ On this the 45th year of his death and 45 years today he was burried..........John and Bobby We Want You to Know
John and Bobby...
We loved you so.
Thru your work and love...
You made this country...
Become a whole.
United we stood...
One flag waved on high.
Because of your love...
For country and mankind.
So brave and bold.
We will never forget...
The Kennedy name.
The name you carried...
Into the annals...
Of fame.
This government still lies to us...
Covering up the truth we need.
For we all know the truth...
Will set us free, to believe.
That our country is still deserving of our love...
Indeed.
You both paid the ultimate price...
Paying with your wonderful lives.
Leaving a country...
Never to be the same.
I felt so secure with you both here.
Not one day did I live in fear.
Brothers forever, your names connected...
This whole country now infected.
With lies, greed and graft on the up.
From the oval room...
To the lowest Page.
In congress to be groomed...
Now they too are consumed.
Groomed for politics...
Taught by what they have seen done.
Is there still hope?
If they carry on...
By the politics they have seen.
I think not...
They have seen too much wrong doing.
Politicians have planted the seeds...
Of what you can get from lies and greed.
For young minds...
Learn from what they see.
The politicians have disgraced...
You and Me.
John and Bobby.
As you look...
From above.
Know that we...
Still need your love.
Just know that I...
For one.
Will never accept their lies...
They will not tell us the truth.
Because they know...
Many big heads in this country would roll.
A cover up!
Oh, yes it is true.
Anyone with sense knows this too.
We let you down...
For that I am sad.
But most of all I am so damned mad.
Bringing to this country...
The feeling of being free.
That is gone...
A piece is chipped from our freedoms.
Each and everyday.
You both will always be...
In my heart.
My love for this country...
You two, did impart.
They want to make sure before the truth is told...
We that lived in these times.
Are all dead...
And gone.
So the lies can continue to go on.
What shame...
WE have suffered since you've been gone.
America the beautiful...
Her flag waves on.
Why do so many Americans accept your deaths...
In stride.
When the truths of your deaths...
Is a big fat lie.
WE demand to know!
We can handle it...
WE have handled all the crap so far...
You cannot just put the truth in a jar.
For the truth will...
Set us Free.
Just the same...
We've let you both down.
As you were put into that ground.
To young to be there...
That we know.
America!
Your favorite sons...
Were shamed by the covering up game.
In your name they protest it is true...
Just know,
America...
They both loved you.
For the truth will set us free.
You and Me!
