JULY 26, 2009 was the 162nd Birthday of My Dear LIBERIA!!
Had to write a poem in her honor...here it goes:
Beauty,
The breeze is soft today.
Calmly caressing the Atlantic’s blues
As your people celebrate in honor of you
Milk candy stuffed into the mouths of your children
While others anxiously wait for their Sunday’s best
Potato Greens, Cassava Leaf and Peppa Soup.
Club beer quenches their thirst resembling the sweet songs sung by the zinc during this season
Heineken bottles beautifully decorates the beaches
Accompanied by beautiful men and insignificant women
Because today you are the only QUEEN that matters.
This year your lonestar mellows peacefully
Plastered to the hands of those who ever stopped loving you
14 years of fighting did nothing to your inner beauty
Liberty,
162 has never looked so youthful
It dances with you promising gratitude.
Your dawning was humbling this morning
The cease of usual rains was humbling this morning
The smiles accompanied by the sunrise on the faces of those who have seen the darkest of your past birthdays, was humbling this morning
You are humbling
And so I honor you
The weighted expectations of clinging to America’s hand is starting to take an unwanted toll on your people
Closed chaos is better when its not your own
I want to be home to greet you face to face for eternity
Never worrying about fleeing from home
Out of momma’s womb this time
I just want to see you shine
Through the rain
And between your red and white strips
Single star on solid blue
The sun hasn’t forgotten about you
Remembering that the love of liberty bought us to you.
HAPPY 26!
