Time to Cancel 4th of July (Sonnet)
If it takes just one election to reverse
hundreds of years of social progress, then
that society never progressed in the first place.
There's no point in celebrating 4th of July,
when we're ever regressing to persecution days.
On the outside we've made tremendous strides,
we have been to the moon and back,
yet the glossiest of land reeks of lunacy,
when we nationalize prejudice as gallant.
America is abomination of everything free and brave,
where persecution is law, intolerance is religion.
To overcome hate some day, we gotta stand human today;
Dream of the King is the Dream of Civilization.
We have no cause for celebration, if anything,
we gotta re-examine the legitimacy of 4th of July.
When boneheaded egomaniacs make a joke of liberty,
revolution is our first amendment, mutiny our right.
