Letter to the editor: Reflections on July 4, 2021
About the 4th
I take the 5th
Because of the 6th
Yet on 2nd thought
Perhaps I ought
Declare the blame
And name the names
Who tweeted the tweets
Who took to the streets
Riled. Defiled. Went totally wild
Who fueled the schism
As patriotism
Who left for Cancun
Who kept changing their tune
Found no need for inspection
Of insurrection
Once lambs to the slaughter
Wouldn’t do what they oughta
Hiding on Senate floor
Elephants memory now ignore
Till Election Day lets them know
Which way the wind will blow
The embers get stoked
By the mantle and yoke
Of fear and false pride
And no place left to hide
Behind every last shout
“Will change lock me out”?
But we all will go on
Anon and anon
White knuckled or not
It’s part of life’s plot
So “we go round and round in the circle of time”
A ‘work in progress’ the mountain we climb
STAY TUNED … IN
