Independence Day Today: Loud Revelry, Muted Freedom
Independence Day Today: Loud Revelry, Muted Freedom QUINTETS A solemn day, once held with grace, Became a loud and hurried race. With road shows and loud song, The economy dragged along, A weary, debt-ridden, frantic pace. A solemn event, once so grand, Became mundane show in the land. With loud, gaudy flair, Geet-Gaan rivalry in air, "Event economy" ruled, a harsh command. A day of thought, a quiet vow, Now loud with noise, I don't know how. Banners wave, a hurried pace, Loud revelry fills the space. No solemn air , a traded show
