America
Free country
Really?
Free
Free on July 4
Lost
Lost on July 4
Lights in the sky
Fireworks
Firing up the sky
Booms on the ground
Fireworks
Or not
Gunshots
Maybe
Shaking in fear
Not understanding
What boom is this?
The one that puts a flower in the sky
Or
The one that puts
That patriotic red flower
In my chest
Boom
A firework
Maybe
Maybe not
A gunshot
Maybe
Maybe not
