Happy July 4th !
It’s that time again. She clocks 237 years today. Fireworks. Barbecue. Games. Travels. Music. Family get-togethers.
Cruises. Camping. Holidays. Moreover, a reflection on the day and how far
America advanced in terms of development, medical advancement, respect for
human rights, food sufficiency, sovereignty, education and the very fact of its
diversity shows real independence.
When you compare her to other nations, you will get to know
how great she is, perhaps best described by Emma Lazarus in her poem, “The New Colossus”.
I must candidly say Emma’s poem captured
the real definition of America. Is there
a chance that Africa will get to this level by some odd chance? I do not expect
a yes or no answer. I just want all of us think about it. The many loose dictator
breeds holding the African continent and its people hostage for their own self-aggrandizement
and power greed must sink now and forever. The truth is they are the problem holding
the continent from achieving its true independence.
I wish you all a happy 4th!
Long Live America!!
Best always,
Yero
