Independence: History Poem

Independence of Men
In the view of a soldier

Liberty, Liberty!
How precious she must be
How her significance brings war,
Sacrifice and
Defeat
I watch as one by one,
Bodies of men face the ground,
Rows of dominos,
Fighting as one against the crown
The Regulars do not tire;
We, however, are not weak!
Justice will prevail to help
All who refuse to turn their cheek!
Our fight is not to have comfort
From supporters of the throne,
Our fight is to prepare the men
Whom we have all chose!
Trained and ready in a minute,
Trained and ready to commence,
What was once a dream of many?
Has a highly paid expense!
As we fight in this war,
See that freedom is the key;
To break out of this grip
Held together by the king!
As the Declaration states,
I will say it as it is:
“Our rights are Life,
Liberty and pursuit of happiness!”
Our soldiers, our people!
Know that freedom has a fee!
But this war will be fought—
—I swear,
In the name of Liberty!
