The 4th Poem by anais vionet

It's a firework holiday,
so let's light up the night,
wave the stars and stripes,
eat barbecue and drink bud light.

We'll celebrate the liberties
that SCOTUS says we've still got
It appears they've all been bought
and before their terms are over
they'll resurrect Dred Scott.

Watermelon, hot wings
we've even added new things,
like smash & grab lootings
and frequent random shootings.

Some Republicans want to break away
to form a less perfect union
can you form a successful nation
based on the politics of illusion?

There used to be parades
I'm told, that featured local
things, like fire fighting brigades
I guess we're just to fractured now,
to sashay in such displays

I bet those were the days.

*Webster: Sashay = proudly walk in confident display*
