Fire Forgiveness
What Does “Independence” Day Mean to Americans in 2020?
So in sorry. Use to excuse. Supreme power, lust and miscues.
Lack in black. Confederate. Apologize, remediate.
Ho of pono. Gr aces grace. Abs for solving let’s us efface.
His in story. Her heresy. Pass the pastimes so carefully.
NOTE: This poem was built upon these words, and the words contained therein:
Sorry. Excuse. Black. Ho’oponopono. Grace. Absolve. History. Heresy. Past.
A holiday to celebrate independence in 2020 must take on fresh, new meaning as infirm, old boundaries dissolve, change, and resolve into better ways of spelling and sentencing.
Please let the “om” in freedom’s ring release the “be” of liberty.
