The Husbandman

Book Cover & Preview Text
For Fundamental Freedom Sonnet When, then, with uninhibited joy, Thou find’st thy motions freely open; And mak’st thy limbs thy prime employ, As waves wake free a primal ocean; Then will’st thou feel within thy grace A litheness, catlike, liquefying; As volume traces time in space, Not racked with stiffness, still and lying. For motions of each molecule Beset the universe this secret, That hope for freedom for all people Begins with happiness’ egress. Go: stretch body, open mind; The world leave one less thrall in kind.

About the Book
With Magna Charta forgotten, the Declaration of Independence ignored, the Constitution distorted, and our liberties under the Bill of Rights imperiled; with central banking and fiat money under the Federal Reserve, with Congress a rubber stamp for an authoritarian presidency, and with legislated socialization of our private property; these poems may entertain the sympathetic reader’s possibly otherwise unvoiced disdain for a trend. Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, sometimes vaguely hinting at other ideas, the general theme of the whole collection is best summed up by the climax of the short story included at the end.
