The MAGA pledge
Pledge allegiance to a new flag,
of these United States being run by
the MAG..
Once a nation under God,
now being led by a demagogue..
Pledge allegiance to the man,
with his ever growing Trump brand.
As autocracy reigns from sea to sea,
let the rich and the powerful
rewrite our history.

Commitments
Commitments seem to becoming a thing of the past
Once upon a time, you could rely on a person's word
Now that seems to be disappearing fast
How many times have you heard from your politicians, let me commit to you
This is a promise you expect them to keep before reality takes over and they don't follow through
A

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

Pledge of Love
Romantic words spill from a poet's quill
Dreams of love in mirrored reflections
An unlocked chest, confessed to a swain,
purging what was buried inside her heart.
Sonnets filled with tender emotions
and a solemn pledge of love and devotion.

Pledge My Loyalty
The King sent his Prince to steal my heart.
Charming as he was, he gained control.
He stole my heart.
Enslaved as I was.
He sent me on patrol.
To vanquish the Royal One.
The heart of one he knew he could never command.
I could not slay the beautiful Dragon Queen.
Mesmerized by the warm transcending glow
I refused to raise my sword.
I

I Pledge
I Pledge allegiance to the flag;
Not unto the Kingdom;
Not unto the Theocracy;
Not unto the Dictatorship;
But of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
Unto the REPUBLIC for which it stands;
ONE Nation, not two or more;
INDIVISIBLE, not split or torn apart;
UNDER God, not alongside, not above, not with, not without.
With liberty and justice;
not for most, not for some,

The Pledge of Allegiance
Now, why a meeting of adults
Should open with the pledge
Is something that feels wrong to me
And sets my teeth on edge.
As children, we recited it
Assembly days in school
And when I taught, each morning
In the classroom was the rule.
Just like the anthem, kids should learn
The words that we recite
On those occasions when it is
Appropriate and right.
To

Come Back
Come back and I'll offer you my
destroyed castle...
reconstructed...
Come back you'll have one
unmade bed...
A table that little
feed... but you will have
hungry love,
of a lover,
survivor... !

The Pledge
I shall always remember
The happy days we spent together
Underneath the tree of heart
Where we swore we'd never part
Even though I drifted away
And in years, you did not stay
The memory of the pledge we've made
Through the years, will never fade

The Pledge
A promise spoken
Must be kept
And time is not an issue
For
Invisible barriers
Separate an era
And in moments rare
Unseen forces
Intervene
For redemption
Of the pledge

The Pledge
Red roses wrapped in thoughtful memories
radiate the glimmer of love and sweet caress.
Her shimmering smile that blooms fuller than the full moon
gives radiance to a gloomy afternoon.
Candle lit dinner with a melody for two.
Two hearts that became one to make their dreams come true.
His promise was to be with

Wildren Pledge
We are the Children of The Wildren
Protected by our Ancient Pledge
And we benefit from its Bounty
As we dwell around its edge
It is dark and it is fearsome
And we very seldom enter
As we live in awe and respect for
The Dragon living at its Centre.
We are the Children of The Wildren
Here in our appointed

Haiku 13 - God's Pledge
fox and rabbit raptor wings
earth and sky and hell -
god's forsaken dream
cut flowers spent upon the ground
leaves of brown and gold -
trusts in life anew
blue robin eggs lay waiting
red breast's warmth and love -
god redeems a pledge

A Pledge To Life
I know you think you will die
No, you won’t die
If things don’t get better
You will not die
If love fails you
You will not die
If your landlord kicks you
You still will not die
And the rain starts beating you
You still will not die
If your friends all leave
You still will not die
