Being Wise Twenty-Two July 4, 2021
The fourth of July. Let freedom ring.
Hold fast to our democracy. We have
new tyrants who would take it away.
Our rooster sends his defiant call
over the landscape of this small farm.
He is jubilant and ancient, both at once.
At the beginning of time he was a
dinosaur, huge and scary. He still has
the feet, but his voice is his real
treasurre now. He won’t be silenced.
He watches our windows for the
tell-tale signs of light.Nor does
the Dawn escape his notice.
