The Story of Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk was very young

When he came upon the scene.

He was busy teaching lessons

With a learning slate still clean.

He did everything it takes

To get his message out,

But the motives of his coffer fillers

In due time he would doubt.

Eventually he realized

The trouble he was in.

He had crossed a fatal line

When he spoke some truth on Palestine.

He clearly feared a bit too late

An early end would be his fate,

Caused by his mortal sin.
