James V., R.I.P.
by DCDave

What could we have been thinking?
What did we have in mind
When we sanctioned the aggression
We see in Palestine?

A strong man stood against it,
Although in stature small,
He casts a lengthy shadow.
His name was Forrestal.

He could have been a beacon.
He had a lot to give,
But those who favor darkness
Declined to let him live.
