Happy WTF

Celebrating the birth of a nation
Who perceptual abandoned their
“Tyrannical” oppressors to start
Their own brand of tyranny
.
By forcing indigenous cultures
(Mmmmm, they were here first)
Westward through endless
Broken treaties and better weapons
.
To declare all men are created equal
If of course you were a white (pink)
Land holding slave owner and
Wanted religious freedom as long
As everybody prayed to the
Same God as you did
.
Keeping the ladies as second class
Citizens, practically property as well
Unable to vote for 143 years
Quick light the fireworks
Where oh where is my sparkler
.
Isn’t it about time we relabel it
For what it is, the mid year
Three day drink and consume fest
To distract simple proletariats
.
Who believe* they are celebrating
Freedom hoping next year they
Will still have ten fingers to
Do be free to do it all over again
.
* was going to use the word think
.
However that process need not apply
If it did, none of this nonsense
Would perpetuate ad nauseam
.
Oh wait, then the collective would
Actually be “free”……….nevermind
We have an economy to worry about
.
Where would I be without my 10 fingers
.
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
