Freedom (c)

By Hannah Overton

I hear the bells ring out

The words send shivers down my spine

Shivers down my arm

The hair on my neck bristles up

FREEDOM!

LIBERTY!

FIGHT!

Shouts ring out in unison

Shouts of revolution

Shouts of justice

Join or Die.

Freedom from tyranny



I wrote this poem after watching John Adams part 2 of the HBO series.

As I was reading this, the first thing that came to mind was, "John Adams miniseries!" cause I just finished watching that a coupla weeks ago. And then I saw that it was indeed inspired by just that. Cool. :)

I know! I loved the series, and I love The American Revolution part of history so I thought they were pretty awesome :)
