Somewhere In America July 4th : July 4th

written by Poet : Paul McCann


On a day called Independence day the sun arose and shone , On a rooftop where someone had been ,after the night had gone .

During the night he cried alone with nobody there to see ,
because he had a problem and couldn’t face his family .

He had just returned from the war and couldn’t tell friend from foe , caught up in a backwash of fear ,with a toxic undertow .

During the night he thought about a perfect world in a dream , but woke up in a nightmare ,with nobody to hear him scream .

He climbed down from the rooftop somewhere on Independence day  and thought there’s no where else on earth like the good old USA.
