In Memory Of...

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.

  2. I couldn't go to sleep that night until I wrote the poem-it needed to be said.
