Free Leonard, The "Unforgotten Man"
Titled by Dove
♡
The case of 'a forgotten man'
A Native American,
Not perfect, by far,
But killed two human beings,
Who must have been more 'special' a man.
♥
A Native to a country whose roots
Lie in the beauty of the land
And once was looked after,
Until raped by 'the white man's hand'.
♥
The fruited plains rolled under,
God 'shed such grace on thee',
And 'the forgotten man's' story,
Might never be known by the people,
'We'.
♥
But the issue underneath remains,
Why, where might such a soul go?
Because who out here
Would care for a man,
Who's branded a killer so?
Lacking of forgiveness,
The crimes upon his soul,
We walk in blameless blindness
With our bugles that we blow.
♥
America so beautiful,
I love you so... (you know),
But show me of the people
You so boastfully bestow.
♥
America the beautiful,
You take the suffering blows,
But when it comes to responsibilities,
(I wonder where it goes?)
Accountability no one knows.
