One Liberator

  • by Joye L. Henrie

    I had to stand alone today
    to oppose the fools of truth’s decay
    in efforts of a bygone war
    a license touted from shore to shore --

    -- in yesteryear’s bible we stumble.

    Travel now corrective measures
    to the progenitor’s hidden treasures
    sweet independence – pen alludes
    present restraint – the words preclude --

    -- and herald not the weeping here.

    Lest retrogress here now take hold
    the by-and-by long since foretold
    I shudder at the very vision
    dust to dust in mass collision --

    -- a populace that can’t conclude.
