We are celebrating the fourth of July and
Most people are happy, inherently or
Because we are with children watching
Then or observing all the patriotic
Activities going on. It is good to have
A nation, divided as it is, come together
This day to celebrate our independence.
It did not come easy and much blood has
Been shed since its inception. We all
Have relatives or friends who have died
So that we may have freedom. There are
Many overlooked who feel like they will
Never have the freedom promised to
Them. We must go out of our way to
Help these neglected souls and make
Resolutions to do everything we can
To make everyone feel equal. We
Speak of race relations, but as
Fredrick Douglass proclaimed, there
Is only one race, the human race.
How great it would be if we could all
Live as brothers and sisters, united
In a single cause of freedom. It could
Be done. Let’s begin.
