								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!
