A MESSAGE TO AMERICA ON MARTIN LUTHER KING’S BIRTHDAY

THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

BY CHARLES ROBERT LINDHOLM 

How free are the free
How brave are the brave
In America today? 

Have we learned our lessons
From the past
Or are we doomed
To repeat our errors, again? 

Your fathers burden

Dripping in crystal beads from teeth and claw.
From hand and gaping maw.
Poison from the mouths of children.
Delivered through the cord
so they are born distorted.

If I Were A Lion

If I were a lion, wild
A man-eater born
Eyes hard, nails filed
Standing on a deer horn
