MY ODE TO JOHN MCCAIN

A MAN I’LL MISS DEARLY,

HE TOOK A LOT OF MY PAIN.

A MAN I SELDOM AGREED WITH

BUT I CAN RESPECT NO ONE MORE THAN HIM

HE LEFT US WITH A LEGACY THAT CAN’T BE SURPASSED

HIS WILL, TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT, IS A BEACON TO ALL AMERICANS TO STRIVE FOR

HIS INDOMINABLE SACRIFICIAL SENSE DUTY SHOWS OUR COUNTRY

EXACTLY HOW STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS ARE OBLIGED TO ACT,

YET, WITH HIS DEATH MAY HAVE DIED THE LAST REMNANT OF RESPONSIBILITY,

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEDOM COIN THAT’S MADE AMERICA RESPONSIBLE.

THUS, I SAY GOODBYE TO JOHN, MY SENATOR THAT I NEVER VOTED FOR

BUT REPRESENTED ME MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE THAT I EVER VOTED FOR.

TO YOU, I OWE MY WELL-BEING, AS I AM AN ARIZONAN STILL LOOKING FOR THE MEANING

OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE DONE FOR MY COUNTRY’S LIGHTS-A-GLEAMING.

THAT MAKES THIS THE HARDEST TITLE TO WRITE FOR ONE THAT IS LEFT LEANING,

FOR I BELIEVE IN HOPE YET JOHN WAS IN THE PARTY OF FEAR,

BUT HE DROVE THAT HOPE THAT I HOLD SO DEAR

AND THAT IS WHY HIS LOSS, I FEAR WILL ALLOW MY GOVERNOR TO REPLACE HIM WITH EVEN MORE FEAR

IN ANOTHER SENATOR THAT WON’T HOLD MY CONCERNS, DEAR, BUT LEAVES THEM FOR THE ROACHES

THAT SOAK UP ALL THAT’S NOT CLEAR, MEANING THAT THEIR COACHES FOR THE LOST POACHERS

ARE DIRECTING THE REARRANGEMENT OF OUR CONTAINMENT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION

OF DEGRADATION FROM THE ABASEMENT OF AGGRAVATION

AND DIFFERENTIATION OF DENIGRATION

ALL BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE END OF HONORIFIC DECLARATIONS

THANKS TO UNHONORIFIC DEFAMATION FROM THE ILLITERATIONS

FROM THE MASTER OF DISASTER OF CONFLAGRATIONS

THAT IS THE DUMP OF THE CURRENT DRUMPF BUMP

TO HIT AMERICA RIGHT IN ITS POSTERIOR WHERE WE ONLY GET HUMPED.

DEAR JOHN, I’LL MISS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR IMPERFECTIONS

FOR YOU WERE THE QUINTESSENTIAL AMERICAN

NOTHING LIKE WHAT WE NOW HAVE FOR A PRESIDENT FOR AMERICA

WHO COULDN’T BE FURTHER FROM THE SHINING EXAMPLE YOU HAVE SHOWN.

DEAR JOHN, I MISS YOU ALREADY, YOU WERE MY HERO UNKNOWN,

I ONLY WISH NOW, THAT I HAD KNOWN THIS EARLIER

WHILE YOU WERE STILL HERE TO APPRECIATE MY WORDS HONORING YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE.

YOU ARE MY HERO, YET EVEN STILL MY NEAREST FEAR

IS THAT THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR COUNTRY DIES WITH WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS HELD DEAR.

THE OGRE AT THE OVAL OFFICE OF ANGER HATRED AND FEAR

IS WHAT KEEPS DRIVING MY CONTINUOUS TEARS,

YET SOMEHOW I KNOW THAT WHAT HE HOLDS DEAR

WILL COME CRASHING DOWN IN PROBABLY LESS THAN A YEAR

LEAVING U.S. TO PICK UP THE PIECES OF OUR WAR TORN DERRIERE.

LIKE POOR JOHN ON HIS WAY TO HIS IMMORTAL END

THE REST OF US HAVE TO STAY HERE TO FEND

OFF THIS ATTITUDE OF NO GRATITUDE WITH NO LATITUDE FOR CORRECTITUDE

WITH A COMPLETE LACK OF RECTITUDE

WHO BELONGS IN HIS SECULAR RECEPTITUDE

WAITING FOR THIS LOONYTUNE

TO PACK UP HIS NON-GROOVY TUNES

AND WISK THEM AWAY INTO HIS FORGOTTEN BAY

OF GRAVEN DISMAY.

WOE TO MY WANT YET STILL NOT TO SHUNT

THAT WHICH I DISDAIN WHICH GIVES FREELY IT’S PAIN,

THANKS TO THIS MAN’S NOW FORGOTTEN LAND

I’M HERE TO SAY THIS MAN’S NOT GONE AWAY,

FOR HIS COURAGE IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY

HOW WELL HE DISPLAYED IT HIS WAY FOR HIS LEGACY TO PLAY,

THROUGHOUT THIS NATIONS HISTORY WITH HIS MESSAGE FOR TODAY

THAT WE WON’T TOLERATE THE MEDDLING OF TYRANTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR PAY.

I WISH SO MUCH THAT I COULD WATCH HIS FUNERAL, TODAY

BUT THE SIGHT OF MEGAN BROUGHT THE PAIN WHEN I LOST MY MOM TWO YEARS AGO TO THE DAY,

YET, THS TEARS FLOWED AND FLOWED UNTIL I TURNED AWAY

TO PAY ATTENTION TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULDN’T RUIN MY DAY.

YES, I’LL MISS THIS MAN WHO I NEVER VOTED FOR,

YET REPRESENTED ME BETTER THAN ANYONE I EVER DID IN ANY WAY.
