The Rich Flag Of The United States Of America Poem by Hebert Logerie

After doing extensive research on the flag,
Here is what I've found on top of an old keg:
'White signifies purity and innocence;
Red, hardiness, valor and competence;
And Blue, justice, vigilance and perseverance'.
Those are beautiful colors!
Those are wonderful word!
We can make the flag more meaningful and amazing,
By adding a few more worthy and powerful zings:
The flag stands for freedom, love, resilience, and bravery
Creativity, perfection, pride, independence, and victory
Fairness, truth, knowledge, honor, strength, and liberty.
Needless to say more, everybody needs to revere
The flag: the protesters, proud and dissatisfied citizens,
Non-citizens, oppressors, victims, and all living beings.
The flag is not to be used for bigotry, racism, lewdness,
Violence, anarchy, crimes, insults, hypocrisy, unfairness,
Aggressiveness, hatred, primacy, wimpiness, and bias.
The flag belongs to everyone regardless of the color,
So we need to protect her with our blood and honor.
We cannot discriminate under the flag
We cannot hate and destroy under the flag
Unless we're attacked by a predator or a belligerent.
Under the banner, be courteous, fair, valiant and intelligent
Defensive, agile, ready, respectful, charitable and fervent.
