America's Skies On the Fourth of July

The Chinese people invented the fireworks only for pleasure not for war; such an invention led to the amazing creation of the canon, and Galileo de Galilei used it as an artillery. I'm thrilled by the colorful fireworks lightening up America's skies on the Fourth of July, patriotism or not, it's too awesome to watch them blast against the star-draped sky.. The Chinese had peaceful intentions when they invented them in their factories; I should have been there to feel their excitement when the first one exploded and sparkles illuminated their peaceful sky. Even falling stars can't do what they splendidly do: to astonish and charm; crowds gather on anniversaries to celebrate their national pride, and inside they feel gratitude for those with an ingenuous mind.
