Independent Soul

Pale light shines in the early dawn
the lonely patriot walks among the slain
closing the eyes of those he knew
those he walked with
those he loved

Brave spirits all gathered to fight
their flags and muskets raised in glory
battling to gain their freedom
gain independence
gain their lives

Blood shed on verdant hills and valleys
independent souls struggling for breath
lives lost for lives to save
lives to cherish
lives lived free

Have a safe and festive Independence Day...lets us remember those who fought and died...who fought and lived to tell their tale...who still fight today.

Borderline Anti-Memory PastBook by Dr. Patrick ODougherty

The Borderline Anti-Memory PastBook asks questions a diary does not ask and raises the questions to dialectics and answers them in a way a memory work does not answer questions.
