Jumping off bridges
Does not solve any
Problems.
But neither does
enabling
an alcoholic
Murderer.
Yes,
that would be
Us,
America!
Mary Jo Kopechne died gasping for air
Her bubbled pool of pleas
Reaching only the
Ears of
None.
Meanwhile, a man merely sobered himself up
and then prepared himself to be the greatest lion
there ever was -
It was all only because he was too much of a coward
to admit his one
fatal
fall.
Rest in peace, Mary Jo Kopechne, for you are not forgotten.

Great memorial, KC, thanks for going there.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't go to sleep that night until I wrote the poem-it needed to be said.
