BOSTON, MA (WBZ-AM) -- In his own poetic way WBZ NewsRadio1030's resident poet laureate Carl Stevens wrote a poem about America's Independence Day.
He expressed it in his own In his own poetic way during morning drive.
A Poem For Independence Day
you're from the u.s.?
welcome home...
you love your country?
you're not alone.
from portland to portland,
you're welcome here...
say hi to john hancock
and paul revere.
walk the side streets
that history's paved...
have a sip of sam adams,
then visit his grave.
see where the red coats'
goals were killed
in the brutal battle
of bunker hill...
after which our rebels
were perched to fight
in the revolutionary dust
of dorchester heights.
where george washington's men
fought without fear,
and convinced the british
to get out of here.
walk to the water
and look at the sea,
rewind two centuries
and throw in some tea.
you looking for leaders?
don't turn away.
over there
stood j.f.k...
independent thought?
this is where ya go:
from malcom x
to henry david thoreau...
amy lowell
was nobody's fool,
and horace mann
invented the school.
it's where people leaern
and where people teach,
it's where doctor king
began to preach.
here we define just
who we are.
you looking for america...
you don't have to look far.
for america's birthday...
this is the place.
we've got the candles,
let's all light the cake.
