Of Scars & Battle Wounds

Happy late 4th!

America

The giant melting pot

Made of scars & battlewounds

Of poor and rich

Slave and free

Ashes and rainbows

Happiness and sorrows

Of people from every background

Trying to find themselves

In the soul of the free

Through the good and bad

War and peace

Hate and love

Trouble and triumph

America has stood

Because of her people

Happy birthday, America!
