We Be Americans

It is about that time
when firecrackers start popping
small bombs exploding and
flares shooting out beautiful colors
the night sky will be an extravaganza
for a few days and a lot of exploding noises
during the day, it is the Fourth of July 
the day of our independence and during
this time of celebrations 
we let the whole world know
that  We be Americans
descendants of the native, the slaves,
the rejected, the indentured and 
the unwanted, what we call immigrants
our founding fathers put us under one umbrella
and we called ourselves Americans
as in United, though we live in different States
we have fought each other through the years
but, We be Americans 
and through fighting each other
we finally realized to do this right 
we got to live together because
We be Americans
so we formed, meshed and 
we got some kinks still
and we know that but 
We be Americans, so, after
three or four generations if my math is right
we don’t want to admit our blood is red, white and blue
unless somebody tries to mess with us
then  we decide what course of action to take
the problem today is liberal minds
want to be politically correct 
and that is so un-American
but they be Americans to, whatever
so , while you eat your cue and drink your brew
remember, at some time or another
all of us was what you would consider illegal
but guess what? now you got it!
We Be Americans!
Happy Fourth of July America
