Poem
Oh say can you see, Not your ordinary letter from me. You might enjoy a parade and some fireworks too, Just to remember the red, white, and blue. Or sing the national anthem before your favorite quarterback kicks, To honor the freedom we've had since 1776. But this year I propose, a brand new tradition, Not something you’d likely hear from a politician. Since we're already together, united as one, I thought we could remember there's still work to be done! For so many countries still need a hand, To have freedom like we have here in our land. Many have no rights like freedom of speech; out of fear they will refrain. Without money for food or a place to sleep, in chains they will remain. They don't have the option of an unemployment check, If the father's out of work, then it's all hands on deck. The kids aren't really worried about college applications in the fall; They're just hoping for the day that they could go to school at all. So I'm only going to ask that you do this one thing: Be a voice for the voiceless, and truly honor our king. Because it wasn't just Jefferson who made this a land of liberty, But it was really Jesus Christ who truly set us free. So let's all take a stand, from sea to shining sea, And watch together as we change our very own history. But wait! There's one more thing left to say, Happy Independence Day!
