Old Glory, O how you have changed
You were born a symbol of revolution
So righteously respected and divine
An emblem of progressive democracy
A standard for ethical yankees everywhere during the Civil War
And your proudest, greatest, most dignified moment came on Iwo Jima
Where Ira Hayes, a Native American, helped raise you
But now you're hanging on Wall Street
And flying atop McDonald's and Wal-Mart
While standing for the contemporary fascism of this Administration
Although I will never burn you
At least I don't think I will
I'll proudly fly you upside down, for all the world to see
Honestly. How obvious does it have to be? I haven't saluted our iconic banner in 20 years. Hell, most of 'em are made in China and Korea, anyway!
Thanks for the memory paul I can see where you are coming from, the world is changing so much.I liked the poem very much cheers Sylvie
