Independence Day
This poem is about America as well as the America in us that values life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness yet struggles to live up to the standard of true freedom in righteousness and truth. Whether your station in life is in America or abroad, the way to freedom is Love… Selah
America
She rocked her hips
Dipped in her ships
Across oceans and borders
Sent her explorers to hoard us
On ships beyond The doors
of no return
America was Bad!
She was a fad
Something to be had
She sold Freedom
but She needed them
Blessed by the Creator
Sold Gods Creation
of emancipation
The birth of a plantation
Condemnation of a nation
America was Fat!
She’s a brick house
She’s mighty mighty
Just letting it all hang out
She had no shame
She played the game
Shackles and chains
Money and fame
Freedom was her claim
If she could
She’d do it again
Robbed the earth of soul
America’s gold
What a sight to behold!
America was a breeder
Labor was the only way
to freedom
but She needed them
She was Bad!
For her own health
Wealth is her belt
An ass whipping
Is the price on the shelf
America loves money
Like a queen bee loves honey
Her colony was buzzing
Hot to trot cousins
Looking for loving
Say it ain’t fun
If the homie can’t have none
America was the land of the Free!
Spirited
Speeches and religions
Founded in superstition
Freedom and unity
With a few pieces missing
blood on the leaves of trees
America asked and she received!
Grace
to birth a nation that believes
This is the land of the free
The gateway to God
Is through me
America got down on one knee
And proposed holy matrimony
Promised to keep God before me
America doesn’t play by the rules!
So, freedom is a choice to move
Exodus!
America and her abuse
Played you like a flute
Made you call a truce
America mind fucked you!
Gave you the blues
Set you free
And said you choose
Liberation or Integration
With no papers
America can be so cruel!
No 40 acres and a mule
America took you for a fool
Taking more than her due
America, how your ways have deceived you
A house divided
Master mind
No spirit behind it
Seek and you shall find it
She can still attract
Anyone living in lack
And lure them with stacks
of new ports and resorts
Milking the source
For fame
America was a no name bastard
Anyone could have her
If they pass port
America boasts
I’s Free!
These niggers work for me
Emancipation only expands
the plantation
Industrial prison systems
Integration
Freedom keeps escaping them
Sold their souls paper thin
Liberation chasing
Breaking the foundation
of this wicked nation
Destroy the law
Tear down the courts
America
We want a divorce
Taking back my soul
It’s Independence Day
I Come to slay
and I Let Love lead the way
