Dear Editor,
In the long interval
when meteors became insignia,
and other petroglyphs lined the hillside
traditions nurtured by humanism rather than shamanism
became the order of the day
And whilst guitar prowess connotes individualism
your love for the common man and his persona
will forever inspire the hopes and aspirations of the oppressed
So much for Columbus and his mythologies
Your character and love for the people will endure forever
Nature’s work of art anchored in granite must endure
