Independence

Not Really Feeling It

The Fourth, a day we say

Hooray for independence!

Today we pray for rain on

The fourth — rain on a little man’s parade.

We saw the shots of tanks coming in

A dictator’s style of celebration

There’s so little in the actions of this small man

That reflects the greatness of our nation.

The deals he’s made to trade on a name

Made great by sacrifice great and small

A concept foreign to this traitor

Who conspires with foreigners to give away it all.

Yes, we pray for rain, though I’m sure his show

Will go on as planned no matter the weather

He’ll look like the tin-pot dictator he is,

As the world laughs and shakes its head, together.

I’m not laughing I’m contemplating,

Where I’ll go should he steal another

Election and be here on and on,

If that’s the case, I’ll soon be gone.

Connecting the dots. Storytelling helps me to make sense of this world, and of my life. I love writing and reading. Writing is like breathing, for me.
