An open letter to President Biden on the wrongful incarceration of Leonard Peltier.

Leonard Peltier is a relic of the times we rot in, forgotten by the generations of people who've lost him as a voice for solidarity, human dignity and equality. That's what he means to you, me and liberty. The liberty to be preserved in cell block under lock and key without open air cause you got diseased in a sick world were we quarantine our minds from justice, our hearts from empathy, our eyes from atrocities and our fellow human from their own self interest. For this my heart does bleed and its strange to me that you can see through these tears in my eyes. But I guess you always did have the liberty to impose tyranny for the United Corporatocracy of the Americas. So, all I ask, for this mosh-pit boxed-in by the Monroe doctrine that's indoctrinated occupants with the American plan to make solidarity heresy is; that you let this man walk free. Call it an act of charity that thee give to thee for the posterity of our society longs to be free, but can we? When you live in a world were commodities are commodities and oddity displeases the sensibilities of the consumer what's killing one | two more. Indeed we only catch and release the deceased and this one's diseased so please cut him free. A blanket he will be. Heel be. Heal be. He'll be.
