Two men now debating, their voices ring clear Two men both strong which one will they hear Two men, one loosing, the other has won Election ’6O now finished and done One man faced with prob lems. both small and great One man to praise one man to hate. One man with the burden of a yfcrld to free One man, such a young man, how far could he see One man with the dream of a new frontier A world without prejudice, hatred or fear. • "Let us begin ” one man ■ vowed his best Many people applauded: one man faced a test One man built an Army, not for a war This new kind of aiming he called The Peace Corps. Their mission was peace: their weapon a smile. Through the hearts of thou sands this Army would file One man with a brother to r help h’m along So many people thought it was wrong "Too many Kennedys!” went up a loud cry One man made a joke with a tear in his eye. The Bay of Pigs and disas ter: many men shifted blame One man found defeat: one man bore the shame. New trouble in Cuba, now a Russ’an base The smiles left our faces; alarm took’ their place. One man faced this challen ge of destrurtlon by war One man led his country through the right door. One man wanted Justice for the Negro race Though the scorn of many he knew he must face. One man made a plea for a citizen’s rights One man was cursed through demonstrations and fights One man with a conviction that some cannot see That an America without freedom can never be free Elegy To JFK One man went to Europe; one man did they cheer One man spoke with Khru skehev; one man did he hear One man signed a treaty a nuclear ban One man lent to peace a strong helping hand One man aging swiftly mith problems piled high One man unknowing that soon he would die One man went to Dallas one tragic day One man in a coffin was carried away An assasin’s bullet from a mail order gun The President is dead; a nation is stunned In disbelief we listen for a voice that is still And our hearts feel an em ptiness that nothing can fill. » One man gone so suddenly, who perhaps never knew His friends numbered mill ions; his enemies but few.
