Whose Birthday Is It?

Some birthdays come in winter,
Some birthdays come in spring.
On birthdays there are games to play
And lots of songs to sing.
My favorite birthday is in July,
And it doesn't belong to me!
It's the birthday that lights up the sky
For all the world to see!
Rockets glare, trumpets blare,
And bands begin to play.
Happy Birthday America,
It's Independence Day!

Today they locked the gates and declared a holiday:
Independence Day.
For we are free at last,Free from war,
Free from the past and free from the future.
Only the present bothers us;
hence the locks on the door preventing "undesirables"
from entering or leaving.
(To guard the present moment)
Like Jericho of old,
no one comes and no one leaves.
Inside our compound we are happy.
We rejoice – with fire and flame,
with parades and picnics, with song.
Only the gates are locked,
from dusk to dusk and then to dawn,
as in an old movie.
Inside our fortress, dogs bark freely, proclaiming
liberty throughout the land.
They are happy.
They can sing; they are in Paradise:
The Land of Canine, where no one enters and no one
leaves, even dogs and children wave flags,
and adults place pennants on their cars
and we all sing a song of freedom,
along with our dogs, and our children, and the parking attendants,
along with the soldiers on guard duty at the closed gates of city and country Halleluiah!

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
Lee Greenwood

Freedom’s natal day is here.
Fire the guns and shout for freedom,
See the flag above unfurled!
Hail the stars and stripes forever
Dearest flag in all the world.
