Notes About The Poem

So long ago and is still changing the world. Happy independence day.

Four Score

Four Score
By Franklin Price
7/4/2016

Four score and two hundred years ago
Our founding fathers signed the page
Declared their independence
Freedom then was all the rage

No longer were they willing
To bow to England's will
Their cup was running over
They had more than had their fill

They had the sons of liberty
To back this massive chance
Sang together to  the music
Danced the Revolution dance

Have you ever wondered
Where we would be today
Without that Declaration
When our founding fathers had their say ?

I wonder what our founding fathers would say if they could see us now. I'm sure they would be shocked and not in a good way. Great poem, Franklin!
