Take For One Robert Kennedy

To be wealthy, famous and successful would be most people's choice But on success and achievement there can be a price Take for one Robert Kennedy one who knew of wealth, power and fame Perhaps he would have been as well off without a cent to his name. Gunned down at the Ambassador Hotel of his wounds he died His gift of life to him by a mad man denied One who may have been destined for greatness but it does seem sad to say That for his ambitions with his life he did pay. The difference in him from other politicians was not hard to note He quoted from the great philosophers and many a legendary Greek poet But one crazed individual to him took offence That's life as some say though sometimes life doesn't make sense. To be wealthy, famous and successful known to be good for self esteem But for such the price too high for some it would seem Like the great Robert Kennedy in his forties gunned down The one who stood on the threshold of renown.
