Inspire

Explosion of light.
Celebrations in the streets.
Flashes of color in every turn.
A renew of strength this day in July.
Remembrance of those who gave.
For the land.
For the rights.
For the freedom.
Tears were shed.
For those that died.
This land of beauty.
Symbolic beacon of light.
United to stand and fight.
Laughter and fun.
Parades every year.
Lest we forget.
Mothers that wept.
Those who can't forget.
They stood to fight.
They would have died.
Not for the glory.
Or a bit of fame.
Sacrificing peace of mind.
For everyone to see.
They still stand tall.
But some are blind.
They look away.
No respect.
They will learn.
Will it be enough.
Or a bit too late.
Freedom rings.
But who will answer.
When no one stands.
Remember now.
And pay respect.
For all they gave.
To still celebrate.
A day in July.
Explosion of light.
Celebrations in the streets.
We won't forget.
We salute.
