Independence

7/4/11

Is there such a thing

within interrelated country we share,

concepts of autonomy, sovereignty, pale

against backdrop of our planet

spinning in this interconnected galaxy,

or that there's 'chosen' people

found superior to all others

in teeming world filled with

diverse humans and their cultures,

even ownership of 'True God'

becomes laughable when many religions

claim credit, while pagans honor

'Life Force Source' in everything,

today Americans strut their stuff

conjuring simplified 'subjectively leaning' ideals

of what freedom really is,

most are ignorant of history

now reduced to sound bites

by 'talking head' politicians, media,

using buzz words often distorted

when translated to fit agenda

for groups enticing new recruits,

but rarely is responsibility mentioned,

let alone demanded of citizens

to do best, share resources,

get involved using intelligent compassion

many deem contrary to independence.
