This realm is where I shall always belong.
God bless this nation and upkeeps it strong.
For he will thrust his sword and suit his vow.
He wielded his hand to ensure bestow.
July 4th, our land is vastly stunning
We unleash acute bursts and stark burning.
Our coastlines and towns' awe and wonder.
For our advocate chart and plush stunner.
The sky is a gored purplish mantle hue.
Moon gazers will revere this jewel view.
Eyelid star for each candle in the sky.
Wanting to claim the grass with their glazed eye.
Sublimity entwined with prettiness
Hands and hearts clasped at once in happiness.
Throbbing footsteps pulverized out the wave.
Of the flawless world and the spirit crave.

Greetings on your Independence Day
Greetings on your Independence Day
Dear American poet friends of Poetry Soup
Including those
Who had left their lasting impressions on me
In the blooming period of Poetry Soup
By their poems, thoughts and beautiful words
Which they engraved
On many pages and poems of mine and others
Or on their pages and poems
It all has left a lasting influence
On my mind and heart
That I often remember those great friends
Knowing well that many of them
Would not hear the voices of my heart
As some of them are no longer present on poetry soup
And some have found
Some other more soothing ways and groups
But those who are still in the arena
May feel like responding
To an old friend's memories recall.
Days and nights keep changing
Like the cycle of life
The Makers of every nation
Also keep changing
With the mood and liking of its people
What really matters is the works
Which they do
Or the things which they implement
For the general good of their masses
As well as
For the general good of the entire world.

Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.
Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.
But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled resolution for liberation.
War's prosecution, through execution,
Forged dedication for recognition;
Its culmination brought dissolution
And vindication for aspirations.
While extrication brought satisfaction
States' acclamations lacked definition.
This Federation showed imperfections;
Low validation forced redirection.
Deft composition penned Constitution;
Strong propositions scored affirmation.
Hence, generations find inspiration
And preservation their obligation.
-------------------------
Tell all the people yet to come
Democracy is what we chose;
Their mission's goal: protect it from
All foreign and domestic foes.
To Americans, July 4th
is Independence Day,
with; barbecues, concerts, fireworks,
picnics, parades, patriotic festivities,
(a.k.a., Freedom Day).
Despite the star-spangled banner's,
red, white and blue,
to that of the British Union Jack,
being identical in hue,
flag-waving they're compelled,
or conditioned, so to do.
The U.S. Constitution does define,
'Treason' as... the only crime
consisting of levying war
against them, and/or,
to their enemies adhering,
with comfort and aid
by all means conveyed.
To those in England,
considering, in 1776,
colonists went their own sweet way,
it's the ultimate 'Treason Day'.
And, altho' the U.S. touts
'Separation of Church and State',
yea, verily I say,
is it not hypocritically unjust
of them to print on their money,
'In God We Trust'?
Take this pain
Let it drain
Cant stand this rain
Its blood stained red
This heart beats
Draws near
To the end i wait
I pray for time
I search for balance
As a pendulum of chaos swings
Hurt runs deep and strong
It takes a piece of me every second of everyday.
I hear life's clock annoyingly ticking down
To my final show down
The hour i give in
The minute i try to change
A foot of disappointment in my ass
Living life was a hot mess
But in the end it wont bend
It will take all i have just to stand
And reach for that light even though it has always been dark
I feel i will finally be accepted as ME.
I hope.
A square cloth flying in the breeze,
For all to see.
Colors begin to form as the sun,
Comes up in a new day.
Red stripes for the blood shed for all,
Those who sacrificed their lives for,
The independence of this new country.
The white stripes show us the,
Innocence and purity of the true heart.
The red and white stripes equal the 13,
Original colonies where we gained,
Our independence from England.
The blue stars on the flag represent the,
Individuality of the states where we are,
United as a nation.
"Old Glory" as we call her today will,
Forever be symbolic of our,
Fight for freedom.
Not Just Another Thursday

It's not just another Thursday
It's the fourth day of July
Celebrating independence
These few words will tell you why
Our founding fathers took a chance
And declared to separate
From the hand of England
On this very month and date
In seventeen and seven six
Independence was declared
Here and now is where we are
This is to look how we have fared
The government in Washington
Has replaced the English King
The independence of the people
Is not presently their thing
The parties do not oft agree
The people suffer for their voice
The election soon is coming
It's time to make a better choice
The ones who think they're royalty
Quite a few there is no doubt
Have reduced our independence
In November vote them out
If we care for independence
We must vote upon that day
We the people must particpate
To have our declaration say
In memory: Luis Alvarez, American Hero
Thank you for working on
the smoking ruins of 9/11!
Those days when we were
more than proud to be a
free country.
Yes, we worked together ever
so proudly, as a family.
Thank you for going to the Senate on June 11th!
Sick as you could be
Begging for money for two-
hundred sixty-two people still ill.
America has forgotten 9/11, with impunity.
We still have not learned our history
lesson.
You truly were so ill, but never
lost your compassion.
Till your very last moment, you
were a man of action!
For God, for us all, in this
great American nation.
It's people like you, who make
the Fourth,
A reason for a great and gratitude-filled,
momentous celebration
With profound respect and gratitude,

“The Old Warrior”
They look at me and shake their heads
That non-compliant taking up this bed
They whisper in a tone that says it all
And hurry to enter a note so small.
Do they know I buried my wife a month ago?
That my time to grieve may be too slow
I cannot see my pills so well these days
For my eyesight is slowly fading away.
I would love to tell them of the time
I fought the enemy behind their lines
I long to tell them that in my prime
I worked all day in the hot sunshine
Defending this country with sweat and blood
Earning the right to occupy this bed.
All I ask is that you treat me good
And hold my hand when the demons come
Look at me as you would your Dad
Envision me in the life I had
And when I slowly close my eyes
Salute this soldier and let me die.
Deborah M. Kelly?
Alive not living,
Past era keeps reliving...
Freedom's misgiving.
Independence sighs,
What freedom frankly denies...
Cum pure lawful guise.
Where one sorrow smiles...
In democratic cool styles,
That shield violent miles.
Eyes travels in mind,
How leaders should have been kind,
But greedily blind
Right to live on earth-
Is no Nigerians by birth,
Only Govts have worth.
Unlike the Indians,
They are humanitarians
But ours- comedians.
Indians celebrate...
When will Nigeria equate,
What growth's checks operate?
Like how courtship's will,
Wish marriage's freedom fulfill...
Relationship's thrill.
Independence day,
India and Indians to weigh...
How hell the past stray!
Congratulations!
