Letter to the Editor,
P.O. Box 406,
Myrtle Beach, SC 29578
Dear Editor-in-Chief,
I
am writing this letter to address the topic of Leonard Peltier’s Freedom. Many people say that he should finish his
time and they don’t actually know who killed the agents. My concern with this issue is that Mr.
Peltier is serving time for a crime he did not commit and his rights are no
different from ours even if he is part of the American Indian Movement (AIM). AIM was called to help people on the
reservation being targeted by the Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOONs) who
were trained by the FBI and CIA. Evidence
shows the FBI supplied the GOONs with information on AIM members; looking away
as the GOONs killed 57 people on the Pine Ridge Reservation between December 6,
1972-March 27, 1977. After carefully
looking at all the evidence I could find, Mr. Peltier is innocent.
Sincerely,
Star

Narrative Poem
The Innocent
The
light shined through the window bars
The
prison smelled of sweaty men and saw dust.
Beds
lined in rows like jars
That
contained smelly crust
A
man, old and weak at heart
Lays
down watching the sunset
Listening
to the silence of the night
No
more sounds of the bet
No
more sounds of counting pay
Days
like these takes him back
To
a time of violence
He lay there remembering
Hearing the bullets whip past him
The sounds of screaming
From women and children
The two men dressed in casual
clothes
With no clue they were FBI Agents
For the men looked like GOONs
So the Natives fired to protect the
targeted and innocent
Now two agents lay in the ground
Life gone in all of their being
But one was
accused wrongly
The one that
killed
Got away with
self defense
69 in jail
With heart
conditions
Diabetes
High Blood
Pressure
And Prostate
Cancer
How long will he last?
How long before he is
gone
When will he be Free?
