Independence Day Yesterday was Independence Day: I truly enjoyed a day of vacation. I intensely watched the fireworks; I kept wishing for Freedom and Liberty. Must independence remain a distant aspiration? An unfulfilled yearning, the unreachable Star, The one wish never to come true, The symbol of inaccessible hope, A Guiding Light too remote to follow? Having spent endless years locked up in The darkness of bondage, I’m waiting For the moment when the clarity of Freedom Will lighten my path as well as what is left of My life.

It is the voice of someone Who knows his own rights as well as those of others! It could be a lawyer bird defending his companions Or his clients objecting to their being unjustly treated Or, perhaps, presenting a plea in their favor. It could Also, be a mother bird admonishing her offspring, Setting them on the right path, giving them advice Or teaching them right from wrong! It may be a guide-bird, Taking a group of birds on a tour of the environment, Examining each tree, studying every branch and leaf, Each berry and each fruit… It may also be a police bird, Enunciating the rules and regulations: this is permitted, And this is not allowed.
