Do You Burn Your Country's Flag

Do you burn your country’s flag To make a point when you feel bad With others shouting slogans aloud Is it your torch which burns the colours proud But do you think about the sacrifices made So that the flag can in the breeze cascade In a country where freedom is guaranteed By the brave who for the flag did bleed Some say if you don’t love this land Go to a place where your ideas stand For this country has nurtured us all You should love it in our freedom’s call. © Paul Warren Poetry
