[hometext] => Composed on Independence Day
[bodytext] => High Independent Lady Liberty Begs to be handled with respect and care And asks to have profoundest empathy With those that cannot in her bounty share She is a gift, a generous gratuity With freedom’s privileges intertwined, But spurns conceited self-sufficiency, Her devotees should keep this fact in mind!. Her speech is straight,- no ambiguity; Hold up this lady high and serve her well She is a beacon that must oversee, Where in dark corner serfs and bondmen dwell. Dame Liberty,-sweet independency Lends giving service her distinct support To lead the way to shared autonomy Achieved in realms of high heaven’s court. True freedom dwells upon starry plain Marked and emblazoned by the Master’s hand, Where vision and participation reign And joys secure on which you can depend.
