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?

THE MOONLIGHT’S REFLECTION

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

He was a junkyard dog
wild and untamed
but his growling and barking
didn’t scare her 

I Want To Know Why

I want to know why I wasn’t brave or strong or true,
Why all I’ve ever done is love only you?
I want to know why I’ve been so selfish and so weak,
Why, when it mattered most, I could never bring myself to speak?

Haiku : Bravery.
