Where I Live Now (Second Amendment)


Neighbors shoot fireworks
every weekend night.  Cheapens
Independence Day.

Written in June - they started in May

I was a bit confused by "(Second Amendment)" in the title unless they are actually firing guns.

A bit far-fetched, perhaps:

we (Americans) revel in our independence as well as our gun rights - both hard-won and not maintained without difficulty - but just acting wild and shooting them off unnecessarily ("promiscuously," as Sean Connery so beautifully put it in "The Wind and the Lion") disrespects those efforts.  Just like my neighbors who, in the present jurisdiction which permits unlimited fireworks  for individual use, abuse that liberty.  Or so it seems to me.
