Eve of Independence

The night before the 4th of July
Chaos in the streets
Firecrackers going off like gunshots
Fireworks wailing like banshees
I am bleak about the prospect
of me getting any sleep
tonight
And I could fight
and yell at them, curse at them
and tell them to shut the hell up
and stop making such a fuss
over something they dont understand
I just dont have the energy
my three day weekend
has gotten the best of me
