July 4 th

In God We trust
Between wars an dust
A star spangled banner to fly
On roof tops high
To every human independence to be
Oh say that you see
Barbecue in house
Picnics sadness to douse
Fire works the skies to light
Independence a new dawn bright
For in the land of the brave to be
For everyone life to be free

Wishing all the American people here a wonderful July 4 th
Though iam an indian , I do have a certain love for the country and its people. So I took a poetic liberty inspired by the National anthem.
I don't write when iam happy
Joy makes me dance,not think
It fills my hands with flowers
Not pens.

But sadness?
She sits me down,
Open my chest,
And spills the ink.
~
The day cradles Night to sleep,
For even the stars need to rest.
So sleep, seraphic beauty,
You've long endured life’s test.

~
For everyone going through a tough time,
You are more than enough
Life, only God knows
When you're looking for the answer, He always shows
For some, it's long
But little do they know, they are doing it all wrong

Some people live it good, some bad
But once they see the wrath of God, it will be sad
It's not hard to just say sorry
'Cause if you don't, it will all go sorely

God knows your heart
Your life to Him is a very important part
If you give your life to him
You will NEVER feel pain, not in one tiny limb

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
Maybe it's not visible
But trust me it is miserable
I'm not the same
It doesn't feel real, it's all just a silly game

I try every single day
but anything I do
It's never enough
Get me out of these soul trapping handcuffs

Jesus, bring me back
Put me on the right track
I'm hopeless now
I need you to come down
I am a Christian, what is wrong with that?
You make me look like some kind of rat
Why are you so hateful?
This time that I take to convince you isn't wasteful

I love Jesus, I love God
But some people think this is odd
I don't know why they act like this is new
When everything I preach is actually true

"Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong"
