Haiku for 4th July

Celebrating Freedom on Fourth July

R. S.
I was all excited to see the fireworks display and cheer for the freedom on 4th July. However, as we read and see the oil spill that resulted in the loss of freedom to the wildlife in and outside the water, it made me re-think if we were justified to celebrate our freedom as other species on earth lost theirs..maybe we should pause for a minute to pray that all ends well soon.

Do we celebrate 4th July
amidst the oil spill and suffering
of nature and wildlife in the bay

Maybe it is a bad haiku attempt but a truly heartfelt one..

    Amen. Thanks for posting. And don't forget about all the people all over the world who are not allowed to live peacefully in their homes. Let's pray for the Gulf, thank you, and for our world. I was just thinking of writing something like a prayer; I am glad I am not the only one.
