Final answer:
The poem embodies the American colonists' fight for independence from British rule, highlighting their resolve to uphold their rights and establish their sovereignty as declared in the Declaration of Independence of 1776.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Call for Independence
In defiance of King George's rule, we rise,
To speak of independence, our prize.
As colonies unite, our voices thread,
Demanding freedom, where once we bled.
No tyrant king shall hold his sway,
Upon this land of liberty's display.
For rights bestowed by nature's hand,
The Declaration makes its stand.
Through years of toil, in war we speak,
Our will is strong, no longer meek.
Independence, a beacon's light,
Claims freedoms born from sovereign right.
Thus, in the year of seventy-six so told,
A new republic, brave and bold,
Did cast off chains of distant throne,
Proclaiming sovereignties of its own.
To independence we cling, to self we hold true,
Our pledge to the world, in courage we grew.
With firm declaration and honor's might,
We claim these lands by equal right.
And so with great hope, to future we call,
To hold these truths, and never to fall.
For within our hearts, and by our hands free,
We stand as independent states, forever to be.
