Tell his 12 year-old daughter!

 

During October, 1962, in the midst of President John F. Kennedy’s 

1^st term in office and his supreme-challenge known

as “the Cuban-missile  crisis”, Major Anderson, a U-2

pilot flying over the North Pole reportedly lost his-

bearings and “erroneously” absently flew into Soviet air-

space and over Soviet-landmass; a S.A.M. killed-him.

 

That close to nuclear-destruction of “civilization”?!

 

The crisis resolved; mankind-survived! Yea!

 

But - - - “Supreme”- Mr. President and Soviet Premier …

“Who?” tells Major-Anderson’s 12 year-old daughter about-“Dad”?

 

Ego-lament!

 

I’m “right”! ‘cause I’m smarter! And, I’m-stronger!

I ain’t no-bully! I am-right! I-fit! You don’t-belong!

 

I’ll show-you!  And, all of-them! I’ll beat-you! Or kill-you!

 

And, the minions-march! And-fight! And-die! You, too!

But, who tells the-children their Daddy-died; the one they loved and knew?

 

They don’t believe or care who’s right

They think you’re a bully-idiot not very bright!

 

Amen!
