Pledge Allegiance

A union in ourselves flags wave
Unite in freedom, die in vain
House divided, republican it saids stand 
One nation, under God; only good rules
A stand for liberty as we ourselves
A pledge allegiance, even it had meaning
Allies of ancestry roll in their graves
Destroy the world, people want say 

Greed corrupts while people hunger in streets
North, South, across the world calls for truths
Centuries of wars fault, devotion same cause
Live life, be free, walk the lands barefoot
Now people wants us kneel, say things ok 
Just turn a head while terrorist hearts rain
Even in war soldiers die just so freedom rings 
Even for the right cause we fail to unite 
We bury another as if we ourselves pull trigger

Pledge Allegiance, a vow; an oath worth living
Many cross boarders fleeing to be free 
From mankind's killings and sinful ways 
Pledge Allegiance, only knee I take God I pray
For peace and liberty, justice people cry 
But close an eye to moderate centrism 
To stand a nation, you first got rid what's wrong
Even the innocent die while people take control
