Memorial Day |
 |
|
I hear the silence
not
the words of holidays
or cars... and salesmen...
stumbling!
... sales of any kind
Not money!
I hear
Blood! ... distance of time...
Lives lost... yet pursuing
Liberty!
See sacrifice...
that stands firmly
... united
in the Constitutional guarantee
of the one and only
salvation
of the human soul!
... Let it ring
Freedom...
let it sing
... as the Hawk
calls
... to the Crow!
I say
... FREEDOM! |
