freedom but don’t feel it is real
it’s changed certainly from what it was when
this day beget in the federal holiday calendar
acknowledge anew what freedom means
to you
we identify problems sure be aware
enough to work at fixing what is broken
what of health and the goodness of life
too these
we mustn’t forget
perhaps I propose
the winding path that has been the road of life
can be paved forward more beautifully
with these stones
than those we’ve tried to throw
