Martin Luther King
(1929-1968)

A three-day weekend
A school holiday
MLK Day sales
And who remembers?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963)

We were still reeling
From the assassination
Of our president
Not five years before

Bobby Kennedy (1026-1968)

Two months after MLK
Bobby would also be shot
Three good men gone
And for what?

That’s what I think about today.
What about you?
