In civil war of brother against brother... <br />There came a man in bearded face to slavery's wanted erase. <br /> <br />In times of war of mother country in history man takes his violent place... <br />Of man's own violent ways he cannot ever face. <br /> <br />Freedom of man is his own precise... <br />That factual fact he must come to realize. <br /> <br />War of man is a maddening disease... <br />Still the fact that needs to cease. <br /> <br />Ole Abe Lincoln fed the flames of freedom's train... <br />Equality of woman and man should forever on our heads to fall and rain.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bearded-man-and-his-stove-top-hat-to-freedom/
