    The Day The Rockets Took Flight

     I can feel it in the air the excitement
    Nothing not even weather could prevent
    At least not two hundred years ago.
    Those rockets took flight so all would know.

    This would mark the day of our independence!
    The chills are back as well as the pride and confidence.
    Our world young struggling for freedom to this day.
     I am on that ship watching as explosions find their way.

    The birth; still today we are in our prime.
    The world has changed so much in little time.
    Even though freedom is as elusive now as then.
    We have many more signs showing where to begin.
            Happy Fourth Of July!!!!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
