The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

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.
