The American Flag

The American Flag The gazebo sits near the American Flag, showing what our country stands for All that has united us together, for these many years in our lives to the core But, people are trying to change everything, even stomping, tearing and burning it Pushing policies of transformation against laws that we have always seen fit The America we have been, for some reason they do not want anymore As they are trying to tell everyone else what to do and what living is for They scream and yell on the streets with their own granted freedom of speech That America has actually given them, our constitution does teach! As they are trying to tell everyone else what to do, in these ways so extreme Dividing our country, fighting against us like it’s a game and another team It will not work because we patriots fight for our values and we fight to be free Their changes will bring disaster, as we are destined to see, while we genuinely be, Everything we are, united in circular fashion like the gazebo, we will stand strong And this American Flag will fly through all these winds that are blowing the wrong Heidi Sands 11/2/19

Remember the last time things were this crazy? ---Right: the '60's. What happened to those fake hippies? Most of them wound up dead, or in big business or big government. (See the Clintons, Jerry Rubin, Jane $$ Fonda, Bobby Rush,and the rest). This too will pass, and these virtue-signalers will 'sell-out' their alleged ideals as well. Such is the nature of this screwed-up, wonderful country we inhabit. Smiles, Gershon

proudly standing Heidi. Your poem is a declaration of what most of America feels, but there are those who believe they can control every thing we do and they want to tear us apart doing so. We can't let them! Nicely done my friend.

It is so NOT a game! "Dividing our country, fighting against us like it’s a game " - sadly, it is happening though.
