I always cry on America's 4th of July.
For many of my life's decades it's been this way,
on this summer's July day.
I've been filled with joy and also there's been sadness,
but tears today are for American madness.
It seems there are a few
who demand defining American freedom for me and for you.
Now our freedoms have stood a good long time
And have served our human rights pretty much just fine.
But these minorty Americans say loosing all our freedoms....
Well our founders wanted it this way.
So when July 4th comes around next year
I have a very painful fear
What will be our celebration song
When all of our rights are gone
Our right as women to be as free as men
GONE
Our right as children not to birth children
GONE
Our right to family planning thru contraception
GONE
Our right to love and marry who our heart has bonded with
GONE
Our right to our own spirit, with or without religion
GONE
Our right to vote as a
Non white or
Woman
GONE
Our right to be free from slavery
GONE
Is this truly the America our founders tried to imply
Or is all of this just
One big FAT ugly Fascist lie
And so
This is why today
On this 4th of July
I cry
I M Human
