"Not My Independence Day"

The Flag is raised and I’m still in chains
They sing their freedom song to silence my pain

I hear the thunderous cheer
But for me, relief wasn’t near.

Their celebrations sets off the flame
Yet still I was not invited to the game

I tilled their soil, I bore their load,
Yet I still cannot see freedom’s road.

Their children laugh beneath the sun
And where is mine in the fun

Fireworks bloom across the night’s sky,
While I sit here to die

They sip on dreams I’ll never dream
This celebration is not as it seems

And though I’m told this land is free,
No fire burns for me.
