Freedom is three colors
Blue, red, and white
To see us celebrate
Is a spectacular sight.
As they dance in the sky
These colors so bright
Filled with Wonder and Awe
We all stare up at the lights.
But I feel myself tense
I do not want to turn
The sound brings me fear
My chest starts to burn.
I glance just behind
These colors now stern
Sigh and veer to the side
I must know what I’ve earned.
They follow just behind
And I pull to a stop
I watch with them with dread
As i’m greeted by the cop
