Independence Day Poem--Poetry Wednesday 4 July 18
Fortitude I braved the ocean Swells breaking against the bow Foam washing across the decks I carried on I built log by log Storms sweeping the land Hunger wasting deep inside I carried on I packed the powder Crates floating in the night Sulphur smoke lighting the way I carried on I toiled with tools Rock sparking in the depths Steam billowing through grain I carried on I marched with the sign Venom burning invisible holes Barricades cascading in fragments I carried on I severed the cord Wisdom traveling by swipe Binary measuring liberty I carry on —IE Castellano
