“When in the course of human events.”
Thus
tolls the bell of fervent appeal,
This
declaration,
This new beginning,
This
fledgling flight from the eagle’s nest.
“We hold these truths to
be self-evident.”
That
these rights be not taken by trial or ordeal.
That
liberty’s grasp is secure and unending
And
freedom endures when held to the test.
And
if there be violence,
Let there be violence.
We
shall not wither though cannons may reel.
For
independence is ours for the winning
And
we will not settle for second-best.
For
they shall not govern without our consent,
Or
throttle our fervor or stifle our zeal
Lest
we send them whirling, reeling and spinning
With
our vigilant vigor that never will rest.
No
patience for despots or tyrants or kings
When
Liberty, sweet Liberty, opens her wings.
