The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Country Called Earth

This is what may be seen,
by eyes that look forward
passed fog and smoke,
of institutional making:

The people, burn national 
building and flag
for they are made fearless by the robbery
of an entire planet's freedom.

A one world governance
is a one world potion for poverty
mother Earth is to be murdered
by monetary law.

I say; let flags burn and
be gone with invisible borders.
Let us pledge allegiance
to the country called Earth.
