Schizophrenic Style: Rouge, Blanc & Bleu

 Across the nation grills were aflame and as the sun sunk soon following it, so was the sky itself


Light shows timed out perfectly to the Star Spangled Banner


children everywhere in awe, sparklers, magic in their very own hands


Family and friends reunited briefly, bonding over patriotic festivities 


picnics, parades and prayers... thank yous to those who made this way of life true


we are all aware, even on the day of our independence that we are hopelessly imperfect


privileged far beyond our collective earnings, yet at the same time lacking in so much 


 But she is ours. 
Worth fixing, worth protecting and keeping.
Worth restoring and revamping

That is why, every year on the 4th we wear our red, white and blue


"The citizens of the U.S. are responsible for the greatest trust ever confided to a political society" - James Madison
