A hollow Fourth


Happy Fourth seems a hollow wish today, 
When the Declaration 
Of which we were so proud, 
With its statements of equality 
And inalienable rights 
 Is being hideously betrayed, 
And so, we mask our discouragement 
 And march, not for justice, 
But for food, and shared community, 
Loving family, friends, and neighbors 
 As best we can…
