WALTER CRONKITE DEAD AT 92

His hair turned a shade of gray
even before the assassination of JFK.
He told us the president was dead
between ads for Nescafe

and Wonder bread.
He pronounced Vietnam an unwinnable war.
Some say he was the original talking head
but he was so much more.

We hear the chorus and are about to sing:
'Stop the killing, put an end to war.'
But we haven't learned a goddamn thing.
