NO PRIDE!!!

I throw away my allegiance
To the flag
That has always seemed to break me
And to the broken system
Which it will fall
A nation divided
Under our merciful God
One step from the edge
With justice for none

A deadly alliance
It makes me gag
It isn't from sea to shining sea
It's from whim to broken whim
The most crooked nation of them all
Out of your pocket or off with your head
Our only faith should be in our Lord God
Not this hopless nation with it's pointless pledge
What's done is done

The stars have faded
No pride remains
The only thing left to enjoy are the stripes
For they represent the love and the blood
That was shed for our sins

This nations so jaded
It only pains
Clogs in all its pipes
Not an opening for us to escape this flood
Only when we return will this nation be cleansed

The poem is deep and full of the contradictions of our own misguided ideas and perhaps a downfall to some our greed and the inconsiderate deeds.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
