The
Fireworks that
explode o’er
head
are the
eulogies of
those brave forbearers
who struggled
and fought
for liberty and
control
over their
own destinies.
Liberty’s
flames, fed by
martyrs and
patriots,
bursting in
the sky
to the crescendo
of
“Ooh’s” and “Ahh’s”,
and the
twinkle in the
eyes of a
child, born free.
This
celebration of our
nation, is
our moment,
to reflect
on the men and
women who
gave their all
for an idea.
An untested idea
for the
time. An unheard of
theory of
self government.
The booming
thunder, shaking
the pillars
of heaven are the voices
of the
people, determined to carve
out a life
for themselves in freedom,
with liberty
and justice, for themselves and
more importantly,
their
posterity.
It is our
duty…, nay, our debt to
them that we
must pay, with our
vigilance,
courage and sheer nerve.
We must keep
the sacrifices they made
in our
hearts and our heads, and use this
time of remembrance
to continue to make
America worthy
of the blood spilled. We The People.
