Lines on FREEDOM

Carl Sandburg

Wisdom: The free man willing to pay and struggle and die for

the freedom for himself and others. Knowing how far to

subject himself to discipline and obedience for the sake

of an ordered society free from tyrants and legalized

frauds – This free man is a rare bird and when you meet

him take a good look at him and try to figure him out

because

Some day when the United States of the Earth gets going

and runs smooth and pretty there will be more of him than

we have now.

Lines written by Sandburg in 1957

Man is a Changer. God made him a changer.

You may become witnesses of the finest and brightest

era known to mankind.

The nations over the globe shall have music – music instead

of murder. It is possible. That is my hope and prayer

for you and the nations.
