Just for today, the patriots do seem it.
Yet, celebration’s not their only remit.
A couple months yon is a citizen’s day.
A day we trade fireworks for having a say.
Our civil duty for the flag of freedom;
To keep old liberty from mausoleum.
We’ve cut it close in my living memory;
Just out of reach of a within enemy.
We have our stars & stripes, some of which mean blood.
It’s down to that booth to hold back fascist flood.
