POEM:

A world filled with war enemies, troops looking for peace and establishing a new way of life. People acting superior wont define who they really are and some are incapable of being themselves. Abolishing laws wont help the people at all instead it'll destroy them and their lifes, it all depends on gods will towards mankind.

Poem:

As we ravage and plunder nature, imposing arbitrary tyranny on our brethren, our honor for God's creations is being questioned. We don't seek consent for impelling laws, and it would seem that happiness is forbidden.

It is self-evident
That under the power of this tyrant
We have been over looked and neglected
Given no benefits, and under respected.

No longer waiting for your compliance
This is our final act of defiance
The freedom you rendered forbidden
We’re going to take with out your decision

Our rights cripple with strict, firm invasions
Our lives teetering on certain annihilation
We don’t want your cheap and meaningless payments
All we’re settling for is one hundred percent independence

Yes, our way of life will need some altering
But is okay because never are we faltering
Send your mercenaries of death and destruction
We’ll make sure in a minute, you won’t be able to function

Send your crews no matter how merciless
However strong they are, we’re not impressed
We’re sick of you control, imposing and overbearing
As of right now, independence is what we’re declaring.

POEM:

We are created equal
Our rights are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Happiness comes from within
No government can change that, which makes us whole
It is the right of the masses to overthrow their government due to injustice and abuse

Life, Liberty, and pursuit of happiness is a way to be. There are no boundaries for independence. Our four founding fathers pledged against danger. Seperations, relinquish the union's character unacknowledged cruelty and perfidy, but acknowledge judiciary powers, trial by jury legislatures, taxes, war, and trade. Consent against enemies indian savages refused to give up land. Armed troops invaded, ravaged, and captivated inhabitants and foreigners obtained for the sole purpose of fatiguing. Offences will not be harass.

Declaration of the People


God who is the creator is like a terminator!
People have tried to assent to him, and he suspends them.
We relinquish to him and we are fatigued of it when he doesn’t answer.
And people legislate laws to show firmness.
The judiciary endeavors the quality life of people.
Many are harassed even though everyone is equal.
All we want in this life is peace
But what the government does is keep us on a leash.
Armies fight for our country
While we just sit around doing laundry.
Our troops march in groups and fight in foreign soil.
All we want is independence and oil.
Countries are abolishing others
Why cant they see that were all brothers.
Narks transporting and imposing amounts of drugs
While being protected by thugs.
What’s wrong with this world it’s as if they
Were little kids trading cards.
Laws are being broken
Like a man that is token it.
We are all inhabitants to this world
And we all make arbitrary decisions.
While the president is declaring world peace
He is abdicated and ravaged leaving our
Country constrained.
One world in oppressions and people in insurrections.
People in desolation
Like when Japan was in isolation.

Well we drew a picture of Abe Linclon. He represents freedom because he freed the slave. As our fore fathers freed us from Great Britan. Just as Abe Lincoln caused a major war becuase of freenig the slaves. So did our fore fathers when they aksed for there indepence from Britan. So Lincoln goes together with our fore fathers and The Declaration of Indepence in many ways.

Peace
Powers of the Earth
Help us find our individual rights
For the public good
We need laws of importance
And the right of representation
Our rights have been invaded
And our people have been harrassed
They have obstructed our justice
And taxed without consent
Their armed troops used their power
To destroy our lives
Their sole purpose of a mock trial
Was to wage war against valuable laws
We will bear arms in the warefare
Against oppression, crualty, and tyranny
We here reserve the right
To be free and independent,
To have trial by jury,
To enlarge our boundarier beyond your seas
And finally, we reserve the right to
An independent military to create times of peace.

Equal Rights 4 All!
The declaration of independence was to signed to provide justice to the public citizens with equal laws provided by the governors that represent each state, It gives us rights and jurisdiction, civilized people of the U.S. need to pay taxes for the troops in the military to maintain peace and protection from enemy countries, declaring war on our nation. Migration and emigration fundamentally affect our economy with the violation of mandatory salaries and also trading and transporting goods from other colonies and a multitudes of other countries affects our economy on a daily basis. the legislative powers should provide more laws to protect our province es and punish the violators of others freedom by the supreme judge.

Life,Liberty,and Peace
Powers of the earth,Liberty,Goodness,and Rights.
Filled with acknowledged warfare supported with helpfull hands.
Establishing government with peace,laws,and justice.
Incuraging voice,will,and valuable friendships.
Abolishing,declaring,and stopping complete annihilation.
Happiness in protecting,land,seas, and our constitution.

That was the name of our picture.
It captured the darker side of the Decleration of independence. A Tyrant king show his back to the people neglecting his them. Also see the king sending his troops to complete his work in our seas. The war showing complete annihilation, and the last one is a mock trial showing no jury. This is what we saw in this Decleration.

Liberty

It's a course of human events
With the truths to be self-evident
Assent to laws
So we can pass laws
For the rights of representing
Called together legislating
The rights of the people
Had exposed all the dangers in time of peace
To render the race
Of armed troops
To protect our trade
beyond our seas
Over it's boundries
Forms in our government
We invest with powers
We're waging war
They ravaged our coast
Grenades in their hands
deaths of all ages
To protect our sacred honor

Stop Hatin'
Respect these truths of the public from what they have forbidden. The House of Representation does not comply with the immigrant invasion. Under these conditions our people, the citizens were dependent on the oppression. In these circumstances Trade and Taxes benefit the superior, without our consent, as if we were worthy of this punishment. We the divine pretended to listen while your troops erected destruction. Don't Hate, Appreciate!
