My last two karaoke songs were sung by George Michael Freedom and Freedom 90 When I think of the fourth of July I think of freedom Free to be who I am without judgement Free to go outside without fearing for my safety from thugs and cops Free to see a doctor or a dentist without financial ruin Free to live in a house Free to sleep without waking up too early The songs deal with relationships The first doesn't want freedom, all he wants is that special lady The other freedom to have equal give and take in a relationship Not always have to be the one always giving while the other just takes When I was a kid it was about the fireworks I am going to buy some today I thought the song Afternoon Delight was about fireworks too But as I have gotten older from 1976 when I was only six It is about a good relationship Where you can always look forward to some sky rockets in flight

About this poem:
I listen to many songs related to the Fourth of July, Voices That Care from the 91 Iraq and Kuwait War, and God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood, American Pie by Don McLean is another good one.
