The Shot That Was Heard Around The World

Today, forty-nine years ago, a man was shot in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 P.M.


All day
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the golden one
Waiting for your fame
After the parade has gone

Outside was a happy place
Every face had a smile like the golden face
For a second
Your knuckles white as your fingers curled
The shot that was heard around the world
For a second

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

Seconds

For a second
