Independence Poems - Poems about Independence

I wake to choices, mine to make, No predetermined path to walk, No scripted lines I have to talk. This Fourth of July I celebrate Not just a nation's founding date, But my own revolution won The day I chose to be someone The neighbors whisper, "Strange," they say, "Why live so differently this way?" But their approval never fed The hunger growing in my...

Do insects kneel at the mire of a stronger foe? Do pages turn themselves in fear of the readers will? Do the stars flicker in panic from the watcher? Does time relieve itself at thought of the forgotten? Why then should a man created with the same flesh, blood & strength of the savior bow to such...

Today, they’ll fire up the grill For burgers, hot dogs, ribs And hungry guests will gather ‘round To point and claim first dibs. I will not be among them, Though I’ll not be too forlorn; My husband mashed potatoes And made chicken and some corn. At night there will be fireworks But we will not attend. We’ll watch a Netflix series Where we’re...

The Gilded Age by Mark Twain in his 1873 novel /The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which satirized the era's materialism and political corruption is just what this King has ordered in his Megabill~ There was economic prosperity, tho unconscionable social inequality as a few “robber barons” tycoons amassed great fortunes, whereas degradation inflicted dire poverty, mass starvation...

Oh Liza, dear Liza. My plane’s going down. I’m somewhere over the Pacific, but there's nobody around. Nobody to watch as this hunk of metal falls No one to weep as these blaring alarms stall. Dear Liza, my Liza. Now I’m going down. It’s not valiant or brave like you hear of in town. There was no gunfire, I’m just...

They treated me for bipolar disorder. I wanted you to know. Although the doctors later said it was the Adipex-p and weed mimicking an up-and-down disease— it hasn’t happened since. I still think it was more than that. Hard to believe it’s been more than twenty years— that fourth of July, when I read your mind at the Washington Mall, and ran off...

June Bug, do you remember me? Understand, I'm older now, you see. No longer do I visit Grandpa with my brothers. Every fourth of July, you too, came with many others. Both of us came to play - beneath the fireworks display. United again, I recall you never flew so well. Give us another fourth, and we will give 'em hell....

She came in silence where the cedars sway, A lunar hush beneath the argent trees. The serpentine wind curled words she wouldn't say— Just breaths and bow and coolness on the breeze. Her sisters moved like stars in cascade flight, The Hunters, free of longing, fierce and far. Their eyes held depths no lover dared to write, Each step a hymn beneath...

I’m sure my first words As a child were “No!” Followed soon after by “Why?” But I only really realized today, A bit surprisingly Given my 66 years on this earth, That I dislike following Either other’s directions But particularly other’s trails Obviously wishing instead To find my own way Changing it as it changes Moment by moment. And it’s been over fifty years now That...

It is as if the ink itself carried whispers of a celestial covenant, affirming divine Providence into the very marrow of liberty. Yet,...
