The fire it calls to us,
the explosions rock the very foundations
of our world, and we ooh and aah
while looking up at these green and red
firefly patterns.
We celebrate, the creation
of One Nation Under God.
Indivisible, With Liberty, and Justice For All, and
corporate irresponsibility, anti-sentimentality
pills-solve-all-problems, and the quicker food is
the better it is ideology.
July 4th, the celebration of
a Fast Food Nation. The grand ole USA,
God I miss it. The beauty of open
farmland replaced by condominium homes
the mom and pop replaced by national chain store
#567723.
We gave up the truth and the reason,
for the money and greed.
And in the end, we've only created a nation,
that thinks about the ooh and the aah,
on the 4th.
It would be, in my estimation,
the time to return to the roots of the beauty
of the day called Independence. Give up
your vicious wants and cravings
just to celebrate, in solomn grandeur,
the Power of the Sacrifice
of all those peoplethat it took
to get us where we are now.
We are Americans. We are blessed.
We sure do repay the favor, don't we?
