SEVENTY-SIX
by Rocco Valentini

The emperor is naked,
Few mouth the content of their eyes
By their countrymen they are forsaken—
Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident..."

History’s lantern lights the way,
Yet many still choose the dark.
Paul Revere does not ride by day—
Tyranny employs its narcs.

"That all men are created equal..."

It is better to be a heretic among thinkers
Than a saint among fools.
The signature in Philadelphia lingers
On the hearts of those misruled.

"And are endowed with certain unalienable rights..."

Ideas march further than armies ever will.
America’s revolution was reason’s revenge—
Taking all that philosophers like Locke had instilled
And injecting it into the British with a lethal syringe.

"Among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..."

We the People of the United States Are Free
As long as we are children who say what we see.
