We, The People, In Order To Form.... And To Re-Form.... Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

we lost a good one.....
a man who changed and grew.....
who used his heart and mind....who spoke and acted....
who worked within a system, one as flawed as any other system
created and administered by humans....
to bring about change and growth....
thank you, Teddy....bear...and lion...
..you shall be missed...
.yours was/is a voice of hope and reason.....
we shall remember you with gratitude and admiration....
and
.there are those
who shall continue to serve the ideals you embraced...
..and
for which you continued to fight.... until you had to leave......
Jimmy, that sweet and very Christian Christian said it well..
.well, if redemption is that which one wishes to bring to the fore......you did that... redeemed...and much more......
thanks again...from a would-be anarchist....
.you gave us your best.....
.from a position
which enabled you to enable and empower others.....with grace and fire...! ! ............sail on, friend.......
