Independence day is coming
but what does it all mean?
If we can not all be seen as equal beings

WELCOME NICOLE ~ Thanks for your fisrt poem ~ Love Haiku they say so so much in so so few words. Jefferson taught that "All Men & Women are born equal" but it's not even true in Democracies like the USA & UK and much less true elsewhere. MLK had a dream that his four little children would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the strength of their character. Obama wanted a level playing field in Health etc but he has been thwarted by Republican Fat Cats. The same is true in the UK where we are ruled by a middle class elite. BUT ~ Nicole we must never stop dreaming ! Thanks for caring and sharing # Yours BRIAN
