LIBERTY — OVER TEA
Liberty! We call for LIBERTY!
Down with this tax upon our tea
No British tax in our colony
Where our voice and vote are absentee
That does not bear our own decree
With such is a tax we disagree
Rise up all ye Sons of Liberty!
Freedom now! We demand to be free!
Down with King George and the Monarchy
March in the night down to Boston’s quay
Faces disguised as Mohawk and Cree
Throw all their crates of tea in the sea
Rebellion is brewing this I foresee
Rise up and make our country be free!
My son had an assignment in school to present a diorama and synopsis of an event in the Revolutionary War. He chose the Boston Tea Party. I decided to take some of those events and write a quick poem
