Lester
"Sad little man"
I've heard fringe-people say.
Reasoning: little because gentle,
Sad because...well,
I guess that was
His way.
"How was the Army Mr. Young?
"Ding Dong."
"Will segregation ever end?"
"Bells."
Strange language...sure,
But do you know what
He went through?
A horn that played soft:
"But man, the sound
should be strong".
Why be an animal,
shout and push
Don't fight...
Say your soft say,
And just go along.
Later they listened
To truth in a whisper.
Masculine...Great...Pres
They said.
Life's not so funny ironies,
Damage long done.
Too late, too late,
Pres was dead.
