Freedom Dream

by

Robert Cameron Hazelton

Men of truth and sagacity
Fought and died for our liberty
The yoke of authority chafed their defiant wills

They put forth a proclamation
A bold, rebellious declaration
That all people are indeed created equal

A long and bitter conflict
Was fought to defend this edict
The outcome would affect the entire world

Today we take for granted
All the freedom we’ve been handed
Forgetting the tribulations they grimly endured

So remember this Fourth of July
When the fireworks paint the sky
To give thanks for all the independence we enjoy

Salute those rebels of yesteryear
That spoke their minds without fear
And took a gamble on their desperate ploy

NEXT?
Why don't you look at The Glitter Fairy
