For the contest, "We Celebrate 250 Years"
by William Kelii Kekaula
Join us, we say, in land of the free We sing to all, yet is that song true Was it even true in history? Are we still fragile in ways we rue? Will all colors form red, white, and blue? How proud our forefathers must have been though not quick to answer freedom’s call some had doubts, indecision was keen But stalwart were those in moments tall letting freedom’s voice ring out for all A noble creed signed by candlelight thinking for a country young and bold One that, although strong,tempers its might Through strife and success, its past is told Where freedom is more precious than gold!
