A sample from the poem Freedom Weeps (An Anthem for Democracy), which can be found in Ramblings from a Broken Mind. The paperback is $7.99. (Copyright applies to the sample)

Blood spews from punctured sores,
Lashings, slashings, bullets bored;
Flags flap half-mast, batons beat like a drum
Against the shields of evil,


Commanded like pawns by the clowns 
Of a waning regime: they pause and charge,
Their boots shudder the earth,
The Innocents await; praying, kneeling, shivering,


Freedom Weeps.
