Feigned Independence
Watch the sky mindful
Of the celebration, fulfill
All of our dreamy fantasy
We explode in ecstasy
Lest we forget the warfare
The loss of life we dare ignore
While a child screams the lights
Streamers ill shadow the night
For over there, in everywhere
Their celebration is a fear
When what will rock our home
Gathers page in a virtual tome
We are the purveyor of freedom
Cast in marble is this kingdom
Forgotten, always lost the victim,
Just meats and grills the dictum.
She plays with a hula-hoop
An Americanized loop de loop
Not far from her eyes a brutal
Red rockets on land are lethal.
We live in this country of freedom
Yet we cannot define our fiefdom
Beyond the shallow grave is ignorance
She in another world has no chance
