Thoughts on Independence

Independence Day

An Original Poem by Dork Anubis

With my hand on my heart

I stand strong and proud

We, the patriots gather

I am but one in the crowd

The Star Spangled Banner

Rings joyful in my ears

Its message is powerful

And its meaning is very clear

To we who have served

As to our fathers before

Vigilantly in times of peace

And through the hells of war

Where we are needed

We are here and abroad

Go off to thickest jungle

One Nation under God

We will not stand idle, nor

Go quietly into the night

All will soon be clear

Cue the guiding light
