‘Leader to Freedom’

A sample from Book 3

 Leader to Freedom
  
 in july 1776
final colonial debate
 independence or the strap
 john adams couldn't hold back
  
 to argue for freedom
should be a laugh
 history books
teach none of that
 an immediate act
far from that
  
 fear
grips like a trap
 congress frozen
they sat
  
 john adams
took care of that
  
 with a power of thought and expression
that moved us from our seats
  
 thomas jefferson
described adams'
 little congressional chat
  
 a vote finally passed
 only new york chose the strap
imagine that
  
 to abigial
adams did draft
  
 ...ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires,
and illuminations, from one end of its continent to the other,
from this forward, forevermore....
  
 for freedom
adams' new how to react
  
 to seal freedom's combat
in congress...1777
 john adams presented
the united states' flag
  
 thirteen red...white stripes
 thirteen white stars sat
 on a blue field
a new constellation tap
  
 all ready
for freedom's path
  
 john adams' ingenuous craft
 brought to life
an independent raft

John Adams…our first vice president and our second president. The beginning of a country is a very interesting study. Character meant everything. Oh, there were a few scum-bags. John Adams wasn’t one of them! [‘Leader to Freedom’ was written in 2010.]
