remember impact first time heard those tragic sad
haunting kiwi lines memories melodies first time heard...
'(Glad I'm) Not A Kennedy' by gifted renowned
solo new zealand singer songwriter Shona Laing...
interspaced with segment speeches by John F Kennedy...
segment speeches assassination immortalized into world history...
love those kiwi artists takes on world politics nasty history
singing meaningful haunting heartbreak ''blue eyed honesty''
''wearing fame like a loaded gun'' peace assassinated tragedy...
remember violin heartstrings peace freedom never surrender...
John F Kennedy said ''step back from the shadows of war
seek out the ways of peace'' wisdom gifted to life humanity...
''one path we shall never choice that is the path of surrender''...
''we will not prematurely or unnecessarily risk the cost
of world wide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory
would be ashes in our mouth'' ashes in our mouth ashes ashes
such a sad pity a crying shame tragedy...
politics in world today lacks wisdom simplicity...
honesty wise visionary John F Kennedy...
