Patriotism
The face of poverty knows no patriotism
The migrating birds and setting sun are patriot-free
A baby will suckle from a foreign mother's unpatriotic breast
Patriots carve imaginary lines across the globe
Patriots blackmail humanity into divisions of sinful pride
Patriots invade foreign lands with the excuse of defending their homeland
Spill patriots' blood with oil
Call for patriotism in the name of war and violence
Write patriotic verse to line the pockets of the wealthy
