Pledge of Allegiance, Revisited

I Pledge Allegiance a solemn vow of obedience, from the earliest age of grievance, when found deliverance, one people, united against tyranny and intolerance, become the model of democracy and toleration To The Flag the symbol of once colonization come together in celebration, a new unconquerable nation, a successful castration, of oppression and dictation Of The United States Of America a conglomeration of peoples form one nation, 13 colonies a single relation, one voice, one oration, tread on me, expect retaliation And To The Republic a democracy, its creation, the Constitution, its foundation, agreeable to all in origination, fiercely guarded against demolition, militarization, and impregnation, over all these years, still on station For Which It Stands the protector of all oppressed lands, the world over she lends a hand, her signature, her blood, in foreign sand One Nation from sea to sea, whether rich or poor, some vocal, others, chose to ignore, those who guard the shore, those who knock on heavens door, one nation, esprit de corps Under God in a time when belief was strong, today, should not be wrong, having been with us so very long, a few may sing a different song, most will believe, as they have, all along Indivisible one, as a whole number, cannot be divided by any other, many have tried under guise of brother, only to be denied by the mother With Liberty And Justice For All the means to end all oppression, infinitely wrong with transgression, succession, regression, and repression along Our Pledge of Allegiance a pledge of a nation, a history profound, one indivisible number, all it takes, to be no longer allowed

POWERFUL, PROFOUND AND THOUGHT EVOKING, Mac. In answer to your question. True happening....He was walking toward me on the beach in the moonlight. He appeared to be deep in thought. As we passed each other, he glanced at me for a second said 'good-evening' and we both continued on. That was many years ago. I can see him yet. Love, Lainie
