The late John
Sidney McCain III,
now flies with
Arrow Smith,
Babbitt, and
Jefferson Airplane
five days
shy of his
eighty
second birthday,

taken down
(to his demise)
courtesy, sans
metastatic
cancer of brain
defeated by
an aggressive
deadly
linkedin chain,
yet still
earns kudos

no matter
1967 USS
Forrestal fire
(during the
Vietnam War)
his life
source did
nearly
completely drain
though
purposeless
prevails,
asper
absolute zero
gainsay,
no rhyme
nor reason

can even
feebly explain,
when
approximately
a quarter
million
young men
(oh...
yes, perhaps
some women
too) perished

at sea, on land,
or floatplain
sacrificed
their lives
for nought,
zip, nada
nothing to GAIN
(my bald, billed,

and bold
assertion,
a mere
minor tirade
subpar class 1
hurricane
non-veteran
civilian personnel),
nonetheless
afflictions
by said
United States
veteran and,

subsequent
Senator from
Arizona,
what
posthumous
praise me
expresses
merely mildly
silly putty,
piddly, paltry
and inane
as anti septic
(of danger)
such as books
for children star
ring and Jane
 

does disservice,
injustice offends,
(perhaps
descriptive
word choices
might smack
of hyperbole,
my humble
apology if in
apropos),

thus a more
app pealing
appellation,
could be
Citizen Kane,
whose
corporeal
being got lain
to rest
on a grassy hill
adjacent
to the main
starting point
of his storied
existence,
the burial
plot (right
next to
lifelong friend
Chuck Larson)

amidst a plain
extolling
grandeur
and solemnity,
where grim
reaper didst slain
of Arlington National
Cemetery in
Virginia terrain
concluding mine
poetic epistle,
that didst wax
and wane.
