July the Fourth

July the Fourth By Franklin Price 7/1/2016 July the fourth we celebrate The red, the white and blue And all that this great country Brings to the world and me and you Our founding fathers pledged their lives Their freedom did declare July the fourth of seven-six Just imagine you were there No longer were they willing To bow to England's rule They signed the Declaration With pen their lives did pool To stand up to the power That controlled their lives back then To begin a revolution They prayed to God that they would win Seems we have forgotten What it took to walk that line To dedicate ourselves to principles The declaration did define Now would be a good time To read what they declared You should read it very closely To see how we have fared The parallels we're living You may find a big surprise To me it's very evident Just have to open up your eyes Need look at what has happened Look what government has done It might as well be England We must resolve to end their fun After all we are the people Who allow the ones who rule To complain yet to continue Makes us collectively a fool.
