As we celebrate this 4th of July
Envisioning a new 4th of July
Removing the blindfolds of enmity
Revealing the hideous truths untold
Monuments of malice, symbols of discord
Upending the persistent racist call
In order to avert an impending fall!
11
Coalesced waves of refreshed passions
Waxing strong in many hearts and minds
Bestrode the Nation’s major cities and towns
A tidal wave of rising social unrest
Evident in America’s Spring of Discontent
A populace now concerned about
Indoctrinated racial prejudice and injustice!
111
Stirring afresh old Freedom Fighters’ hearts
Who had propelled these struggles
Growing tired of outcomes and unfulfilled promises
Enlisting idle bystanders to extirpate a system
Limiting the true meaning of freedom
Rekindling a collective dream
The Nation’s golden tenets!
1V
Collectively shared ideals and set of beliefs
Therefore, for all to celebrate
This Land of the Free
And the Home of the Brave
Requires an envisioned 4th of July
Bequeathing a more balanced legacy
For posterity!
HAPPY ENVISIONED 4TH OF JULY!!!!
