Where Is Thoreau Now That We Need Him?
POETRY FORMAT, 17 Feb 2014
Tom Greening – TRANSCEND Media Service
I think it’s time for us to go
and pay a visit to Thoreau.
In times like this we need a sage,
perhaps one from another age,
who sees more clearly than we can,
who champions the rights of man
and woman too, and who can think
of how to pull back from the brink
before it has become too late
to resurrect our nation’s fate.
