Independence

Unchained and unfettered.

Independence; it is what we seek.

To be independent in our thinking.

To be independent in our living.

To be responsible for our personal growth and failures.

To be free of dependency.

Nothing is sweeter or more complex than independence.

It is as sweet as the nectar which free flows from a  beehive.

In our pursuit for happiness and achievement liberation is everything.

It is worth fighting for.

Often, one has to fight to maintain and sustain that, which is beautiful.

Everyone must fight.

Liberty is as necessary as the air we breathe.

Cutting a supply of air leads to asphyxiation, death by deprivation.

This must not be.

It is the responsibility of all to uphold the paradigms of;  liberty and justice.

This means constantly preparing oneself to stand up against things that stand in the way of independence.

This is one of the most important duties that one will undertake in his or her life time.

The quest for Independence as a nation was a necessary means to establishing due freedom from tyranny for the collective

At least for the right to pursue such without oppression.

However, the fight did not end there.

Thus, the fight for liberty and independence continues, yet on a different battlefield..

It is not yet time to lay down for there is still so much to fight for. There are still so many victories to be won.

While we celebrate the independence of the nation forget not, that as long as men remain in bonds whether it be physical or in the mind there is still a war to be raged.

Until all are liberated, and free we must not  settle.

Still we fight.

Our fight is not merely a collective one but a personal one.

One must wage, his her own, war daily to remain free and independent in thought and being.

Let it renew in you a spirit of duty, pride, and of purpose.

That this day, and tomorrow you will be led to commitment, to walk forward arming thyself with knowledge,

Let it draw from your lips a promise, that you will fight daily with honor and staunch courage for personal liberation of mind and being,

That you  may work toward true liberation of the whole. We as a collective will have many more victories to celebrate.
