Over Barbara Frietchie’s grave,
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave!”

confronted tanks, while others fled.
He stood for freedom for us all,
but few care now if he’s jailed or dead.”

Lenin in a sealed train through Germany
Hsuan Tsang, crossing the Pamirs
Joseph, Crazy Horse, living the last free
starving high-country winter of their tribes.
Surrender into freedom revolt into slavery—”
