My Colors Poem by Ray Hansell

I wear the flag of my country
Because I live in the land of the free
It’s America the Beautiful
Don’t try to censor me

No one has the right
To tell me I must hide
The Red, White and Blue
That gives America’s pride

You’ve heard the old saying
That these colors don’t run
Well I’m here to tell you
I am a native son

I have no intention
To push my colors aside
People have defended them
So many have even died

So for all you people out there
Let me make this very clear
There are many American’s
Who hold those colors dear

So to tell me I can’t wear a shirt
With the American flag displayed
That is a form of censorship
That in this country isn’t played
