Fireworks explode in joyful celebrations
Celebrations more apt for the powerful elite
Elite due to gender, race, wages and wealth
Wealth denied to migrants and lower classes
Classes divided by biases and legal brutality
Brutality blatantly ignored by those in power
Power that condones abusing our vulnerable
Vulnerable due to diversity of gender, race or religion
Religion is being used to propagate fear and hatred
Hatred is harmful, embrace diversity to ensure harmony!
FOWC with Fandango – Fireworks
I miss fireworks. None on the 4th of July in my part of Mexico that I’ve seen so far this year.

Well I doubt that between you and I there would be much debate but lots of agreement. It’s just sad to see so much hate and lack of acceptance in the world.
