A Father's Day Poem for "Oz" by Wendie Busig-kohn
In Memory of Oswald LeWinter
Rilke Prize Winning Poet
and
"Notorious" Whistleblower
Rest in Peace.
In heaven
You rest now
There was no rest on earth
You fought battles for justice
From the moment
Of your birth
Controversial
Brave, yet kind
Father and Leader
You were
You would spin out
Truth
Justice
Like no other peer
You stirred
The hearts,
Minds
Of many
You opened
Embraced
Stood up for truth
Expressed
With grace
Your feelings
Your experiences
Shared with us
Mere mortals here
On earth
In dying
You left us
To fight on
Without fear
No one
In my life
Taught me so well
As you, “Papa Bear”
I miss our conversations
I miss you, my friend so dear.
For Oswald LeWinter (R.I.P.)
