The Etymology of Independence (Hold Your Fireworks)

--

By sleepboy from Arrested Motion LTD

Self-support

Purport

Independence

Living in the pendants

Above the glass ceiling

Society’s past

Looking glass

Feeling

Dependence

Eve of 4th of July

Remembrance

Fireworks

Pyrotechnic

Semblance

To believe one’s free

Dumb

Freedom

What the sane sent?

Native to this land

Firm definition

Of what pain meant

Spirits at dis-ease

From imported disease

Fixation

Fatality mentality

Fear mongering

Finally near

Clear conquering

Conquest

Pay attention to the journey

Even attorney

Recognizes the con-quest

Accountability

Self-government

Freedom to define

What self-govern meant

No such thing as a free lunch

The USA came through

With some ‘cool’ aid

Want some free punch?

Take a shot first

Cauldrons melting

Making the pot burst

Devoid of understanding

Why they celebrate

However,

Count on this country

To sell it great
