TODAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY!
I celebrate life every day! Every day provides us with opportunities to celebrate. Today America is celebrating Independence Day. The day that the Continental Congress approved the revised Declaration of Independence. The document that declared America free from British rule. Many will celebrate with cookouts, parades, and fireworks. Few will ponder the meaning of Freedom. Today’s poem is meant to get you thinking about Freedom.

but do we still need some?
paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence?
breaking free from a tyrant’s laws.
and what do we still need?
think about the Monsanto seed.
modified for volume, not nutritional need.
is truth being told?
how do you choose?
or do they just flex their political might?
or voter backlash they fear?
but is it still there?

Happy Independence Day. You still have the freedom of speech and suffrage. That's a lot better than most countries. But I see your point. It's the same case as in mine. You can holler all you want and vote anyone you want but in the end still the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Thank you . I agree that we are better off than many countries in some aspects. I see many of the underlying reason the colonist revolted back then as occurring today in our society.
Regardless of what we have now, it is amazing what they achieved. Nice write.
I agree it was revolutionary, what they achieved. Our Founding Fathers put a lot of thought in to what they created.
Happy Independence Day
The great America..
Thank you.
