Reluctant hero, drafted again each Fourth of July, I'll bow and remember you. Who shall we follow next? Who shall we kill next time?
William Stafford (The Way It Is: New and Selected Poems)
As the globe revolves Different mixes keep passing into the light Or into the dark, and then back out again: The unexpected, over and over again. Jefferson’s July 2 draft blamed George III For violating the liberty of “a People Who never offended him” shipped off to be “Slaves in another hemisphere.” For many “Miserable death in transportation thither.” On the Fourth of July, that passage was left out. Thither.
Robert Pinsky
Ain't My Fourth of July (The Sonnet) Fourth of July comes and goes, Yet slavery remains and thrives. It kills in the name of supremacy, It causes ruin in a pro-life guise. Real advocates of life value life, And place life above all belief. Belief that values guns over person, Is only pro-death and pro-disease. Freedom involves accountability, Without which we are just free animals. Those who turn superstition into law, Are no judge but a bunch of dumbbells. This ain't my Fourth of July, for I actually value life. Till all lives are deemed equal, I'll continue to strive.
Abhijit Naskar (Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans)
