RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN JUSTICE
Leonard Peltier is Free
Of all the things Joe Biden did
In the final moments of his presidency
After fifty years of imprisonment
He set Leonard Peltier free
By this singularly important act
An act of executive clemency
By granting one man his freedom
He set a cause and a movement free
The FBI will raise a cry
But justice has been done
A long time late and bittersweet
But this battle has been won
Remember him at Wounded Knee
Remember what he sacrificed
For being a man of principle
He was chosen to pay the price
Like Geronimo before him
Like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull
A spirit guide turned warrior
A hero and a man in full
