a poem

Each sound bursting
Into my chest like a hammer
Beating the drums of history

Every boom
Tells the story
Of a life lost

Bravery and strength
Courage of men making a stand
Against a king, against tyranny

Independence
Worth the risk
Worth the chance

One star, pointing north
Shows the path
To freedom

One man, makes a stand
Conceived in Liberty
Men considered equal

One Nation
Making a stand
A stand for hope
A stand for justice


Will we forget
Who we are
Whence we’ve come

this poem struck me so deeply that I can hardly form the words to reply. but i must just enough to let you know that. and i believe that you have spoken my heart, as well. i just could never have articulated as well as you have. thank you.
