Excellent A tale of woe, fo sho. Freedom - priced quite nicely... by Chip Whitley Happy Independence Day writing prompt entry

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence. That starry blue That crimson hue. White lines straight and narrow Plowed precisely in harrow.   Souls of bygone eras scorch The glowing altar, liberty’s porch. Rough men’s veins split for those profound For weaker folks inactions inter the rows. No recompense, no justice, for those rough men, I suppose.   Torch is carried, weighty and tarried Begins to sag my shoulders wearied. The strain of that yoke, those friends who can’t joke, Won’t lighten on its own, the pain bespoke.   Our foundational foundation is heard a deafening moan Sacrifices many, some to the bone. Many gave all and all cared not Our blessed country, an uncommon plot. Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type about Independence Day or share your thoughts about this day.
