There wouldn't be life
without the pursuit of happiness.
They say that all men are created equal which makes it easy to abolish for all people.
Take the King for example;
quartering large bodies of armed troops among us keeping the time of peace from us.
Plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns.
And yes we have been through the most.
Mutually we pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors.
We will survive!

When you eat out our substance.
You make us want to have Justice.
you take our right and duty to be free.
For that reason we will not bow to thee.
He has destroyed our lives, our homes and our way of life.
We will fight this tyaranteven if it takes every night.
We pledge everything in our lives even our honor.
we will protect that pledge even if we all get slaughtered.
The goverment is taking men's power.
we will fight the goverment to our final hour.
The prince has invaded peoples right.
When he dies or we fight back maybe the goverment will see the light.
He has made our friends kill friends, but they will fall by their own hands.
Soon blood will cover our land.
He is not a prince at all, but a tyrant, not fit to rule free people.
He try to act like this is all legal.
The laws of god and nature say all men are equal.
This mean that this tyrant isn't fit to rule our people.

Declaration of Independence Poem
As Citizens of the United States we hold the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We are all created equal regardless of race.
We need to establish back our charters.
We need our privileges back and not suspended.
We have petitioned to reform in times of oppressions.
We need to have our voices heard and have a close relationship in mankind.
We need to stop all the hatred going on in this nation and try to live in peace with a firm reliance on protection.
To find Life, liberty and happiness
To find Life, liberty and happiness;
We must Pledge to each other, our lives,
our tortures, and our sacred honor.
We must fight, to get what we want.
The Colonies of Great Britain dissolved
They, Unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
For us to find Life, liberty and happiness;
We must have the Right of the people.
We must fight the Troops among us.
Then we found Life, liberty and happiness.

Sacred Lives
Laws Nature God
All created equal
Life Liberty Happiness
People have the right to alter or abolish government
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and blood
Hold mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends
United colonies are:
Right out to be Free
Independent States
They are Absolved from all
Allegiance to the British Crown
As Free and Independent States
Fall of Power to levy War
Conclude Peace
Contract Alliances
Establish Commerce
Do all Acts and Things
For Independent States may have right to do
For the support of the Declaration
With firm reliance of protection
Pledge to each other
Our Lives
Our Fortunes
Our Sacred Honor.

Poem:
A violent path of events had led us to break away.
Under the law of God, we have the right to declare our separation.
We have the Right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
We the people, have the right to change the government to protect our rights.
A government for the people, by the people, that will protect their rights.
A government that will pass laws that are necessary for the public good.
Away from laws that are not created and laws that are created by a tyrant.
A tyrant who forces us to follow his laws.
A tyrant who refuses to give up any power and to better its people for that power.
Justice has been tampered by laws that have not been created.
Justice has been tampered, with judges who care more about their pay than the truth.
The king’s soldiers ready to strike us down in times of peace in our own homes.
By charging us with crimes that we did not commit.
Isolating our trade from the rest of the world.
For taxation without representation.
For not giving us a fair trial with a jury of our peers and sending us overseas.
For destroying God’s laws and believing that we will still obey the king’s command.
For declaring war against us only because we wish not to live in the king’s shackles.
For burning our homes and destroying lives of free people.
For sending massive armies to destroy God’s law and those who want to live under it.
This man is unfit to rule anyone
A man whose thoughts, actions and laws, define a tyrant, is not fit to rule any nation.
And his people who ignore the call of justice, we must separate.
We the people of the United States of America, declare ourselves to be free from the clutches of the king, to live, and to be free.

Paying taxes was a daily routine
Dreaming of a day where we could be free
That day came quicker then a blink
Now i here writting a Letter to the king
so he would understand what we think
You made us go through events that we disagreed
Trying to control us but the laws of Nature wouldn't let it be can't you see.
Even Mankind requires us to seperate don't hate
All Men are Created Equal is what the people say
Don't get it twisted like a ball of yarn
Life
Leberty
and the
Pursit of happeniness
it all great!
like they say the power is in the people so they sould have a say
On what type of government they want to make.
When a Tyrant supresses a people the course of human events takes a turn to despotism.
Such a Tyrant is not fit to rule a free people
He supresses and alters the lives of our people
and makes them executioners of their friends
He does not understand that all men/women are created equal, in the eyes of the Lord.
He gives them unalienable rights, such as: life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
No matter race or sex
Through rebellion we shall not rest
Through these struggles we shall prevail
Who is he to say whether we succeed or fail
Without unity there is no accomplishment
To fulfill our dreams and ambitions
For the inhabitants of our divine country
To build our wide diversity
Soldiers invade lives of our innocent people
What we had made together our own
Will no longer rise above this new union
For the birth of this nation, The United States of America!

They say that breaking up is hard to do
its always me and never you
for as long as i can remember
you and i could never concur
we were like sweet and sour
opposites-like hands on a clock tower
i've waited so long to tell you this:
our love was a hit and miss
to cause such a stir
went against the laws of nature
our relation has been plundered in the seas
stung by a billion bees
ravaged in the coasts
floundering like a beaten post
burnt in towns
and causing many frowns
you punished me for no apparent reason
i was tried and charged for treason
i need you to let me fly free
like a bird in the breeze
let me fly high and soar
right through your iron doors
i need space to spread my wings
i need to be heard so let me sing
i believe they call it the american dream
to be the best i can be
and i believe its my right
to let out some steam
im about to set sail
but we can still be friends
you can kiss my tail
Because we will never make amends

With forced compliance,
We endure absolute despotism,
Patiently our colonies suffer,
Under the negligence of the king.
With our rights of representation relinquished,
With his invasions on the rights of the people,
With deprivation of the benefit of a fair trial by jury,
With his obstruction of the administration of justice,
He remains the tyrant,
as the colonies remain in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion.
For these reasons,
We proclaim our separation.
For depriving us of our rights,
For suspending our own legislatures,
For taking away our charters,
For waging war against us.
We become enemies in combat,
As we fight for the right to be free and independent states.

All men are created equal
With no exceptions.
Relinquish,
We shall never.
The Rights of the people
Make our nation stronger.
Usurpation
Protection and waging war against us.
Destroyed the lives of our people
Mutually pledge to each other our lives
We won't hide the truth
But we'll keep our feelings candid
Our nation will succeed together as one.
One love!

They say that all are created equal in Gods eyes,
God entitles them to give all humanity respect.
We all have the rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Without that, there is no point in fighting to be free
They are inestimable for now but we will fight for them,
Times of peace seem to never arrive
Yet we all hope this time will come soon.
Laws of nature make up our nation
Which makes an undistinguished
destruction, of all ages, sexes, and conditions
The King has forbidden us of many things
Evils are sufferable but only god can judge
Support this Declaration because this separation is certain

Why does he refuse to pass laws?
While we are being harassed by the officers of law.
He took away our rights to abolish a bad government.
Even though we are being ruled by an evil tyrant.
We have the right to be free.
Some people just don't see.
That he turned us against us.
Family against family.
Enemies equal war, peace equals friends.
With this king we will never make amends.
We tried to do petitions, but they were responded by injury.
He is protecting murderers in his own military.
This cruel tyrant king is relentless.
So lets break away from England.
To pursue our dream of life, liberty, and happiness.

We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal
Comin’ thru with the rights not everyone gets played we all get the same quality
With any form of government we will repent
After all the time we spent
Our fellow citizens taken captive
As the enemies stay active
On the high seas to bear arms against their country
We shall fight as one and protect our rights!

(Correct Poem)
All men are equal
No matter race or sex
Neccessity to alter forms of government
Through rebellion we shall not rest
Abolishing laws, altering government
Through these struggles we shall prevail
Prince defined a tyrant, unfit to rule
Who is he to say whether we succeed or fail
Support declaration, protect divine providence
Without unity there is no accomplishment
equal life, liberty, pursuit
To fulfill our dreams and ambitions
Provide, guard, security
For the inhabitants of our divine country
Encourage, Migrations
To build our wide diversity
Kept without consent
Soldiers invade lives of our innocent people
Plundered and destroyed
What we had made together our own
Insurrections, inhabitants, destruction
Will no longer rise above this new union
Pledge lives, fortune, and honor
For the birth of this nation, The United States of America!

When Jefferson put a pen in his hand, He didn’t know his writing would be an influence throughout the land
He declared the opinions we’re entitled
Proclaiming that equality is vital
Pursuing happiness intently
To overcome the things unsettling
The many laws give us freedom $ justice
Liberty is more than something, it’s truly precious
Our rights are what we hold day to day
Because of the declaration no man can take them away

He has forbidden his governor to pass
He has forgotten his people
He has forgottenit's liberty
He has forgotten the pursuit of happiness
And has let it's constitution to lay in unfairness
Today....
He has change our assent laws
He has left behind all flaws
He has ended a trail of punishment
He has us through new movements
He has in mind its people and learned nature is God beacause in this country
The rights of people will always suceed
Never will the foreigners Win!

all men are created equal
a fact that was declared in our new sequel
the birth of a brand new nation
this is our perfect creation
form of government becomes destructive of these ends
the rights of the people to alter or abolish is how it depends
life liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been granted
the roots of our new nation have been planted
he has refused his assent to laws, the most necessary for the public good
his laws he has created to deny naturalization of foreigners are no good
for imposing taxes without representation we have declared independence as our new nation
we have befallen to the many deprivations and made us endure under their many corrections.
