Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Flag Day

*Happy Flag Day


Today is Flag Day with protestors here
I will not take down my Flag or cower in fear
I will not apologize for being white
Or an American Patriot, with my flag in sight
I will not kneel to you, or submit
No matter the threats in your violent fit
I will not apologize for something "I" didn't do
But, I will stand for my country, unlike you

Gershon Wolf June 14, 2020 at 6:49 PM I'm with you all the way on this one. Living in Chicago, I have to lie low though. I really don't want to get murdered or anything, a distinct possibility for those who don't feel the need to dismantle the police. Thank ~ gw Heidi Sands June 14, 2020 at 7:07 PM Thank you Gershon. I completely understand what you are saying. I appreciate your comment. Stay safe my friend :)

Panagiota Romios June 14, 2020 at 1:38 PM Heidi...so..is anyone who does not do as you do a non-patriot? Panagiota xoxo Thanks for being open )) Heidi Sands June 14, 2020 at 2:25 PM No absolutely not Panagiota. People can choose what they want to do for Flag Day. Although, I hope it is not violent, etc. Thank you and you are welcome :) (by the way, when I said , unlike you, I meant toward the violent protestors, burning our flag and American things, etc)

Tom Cunningham June 14, 2020 at 12:36 PM Well said Heidi, You've certainly got nothing to apologise for, as you said you've done nothing wrong, I was brought to respect everyone regardless of what colour they are, one thing I do know there's good and bad in every colour. Tom Heidi Sands June 14, 2020 at 2:23 PM Thank you Tom. You are right about respect. I appreciate your input. I hope you have a nice day :)

Vijay Pandit June 14, 2020 at 11:43 AM Enjoy your day Heidi..we all benefit when everyone gets to speak. Some things in democracy are messy--such is life. Heidi Sands June 14, 2020 at 11:55 AM Thank you Vijay. I appreciate your comment and hope that you enjoy your day too :)
