A Man for our Time - Peltier His Name
by LTC Daniel Marvin, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
The wonder of our present day:
We have for the most forgotten our way
The past is there with proof of bad and good
beckoning our minds to learn - Oh that we
would!
From failures and victories and judgment made
with that wisdom intact we'd not be afraid
But there are those in power who steer a course
meant to build a new world force
Not meant to free the wise, the true and the brave
geared only to serve the powers who would
have us be slave
Perhaps we should look back in time to them who served
to men who would stand for their friends -
not to be unnerved
Men like Dr. King and Lincoln too - who stood the test
of time and such as Leonard too did - and
he did his best
For others who needed a leader - proud and strong
One who would steer the straight course all
day long
He was and is and will always be
A friend to you and a hero to me
Let us all put pen in hand and write those in power
and ask that Leonard Peltier be freed
within the hour
when the chimes will toll and the bell will peal
To see a great soul and leader FREE!
