# Against Patriotism

Rating: 4.0


Patriotism
the biggest mistake ever
divides from within

Patriotism
binds human beings in groups
glorifies a war

i got what you mean, my friend, but there's always exception to the rule... Patriotism is a noble thing if not being constituted to dirty politics...well penned! :)

Patriotism unfortunately increasingly manifests itself either as an obsession or as xenophobia nowadays. A poem which leaves an impact.
