Angels coming to get Jimmy Carter

By Ron AI

Funeral

There was a funeral today for a great one,

Who could confer with the giants among us, 

But never forgot where he came from.

Working alongside the least of us with no fuss. 

Humble man of great knowledge and vision,

Honest to the core of his being and action,

His vision proved out over trial and time,

Never letting any barrier from party or faction.

Steer him away from what was right,

with a global understanding what to do.

Bringing the oppressed into the light,

Of freedom from tyranny long overdue.

Defeated by an actor hired by party greed,

Quietly bowed out to begin a new tack,

As a man of the people, so much in need,

He wrote books and filled the void of lack.

Raging in Los Angeles is proof of his claim,

That our wastefulness and greed is a shame.

To persist will render us hopeless and lame.

Must follow his lead or surely lose this game.
