The Flag
There you are in front of me
Soaring above my head
Where everyone can see
That this is our homestead
But in the past days
You're not respected
You’re trapped in a daze
Being inflected
During the anthem
Men take a knee
It’s part of their tantrum
Something that we don’t need
It’s getting more upsetting
No love for the stripes and stars
People are forgetting
How important you are
You’re not about racism
You’re not about politics
You’re not about socialism
You’re not about any of this
You symbolize many things
That represents our country
All the importance you bring
Dated back from history
You stand for freedom
All of us have rights
No matter where we came from
We can come with no invite
You stand for justice
Protecting the hurt
No crime will go un-notice
The law is on high alert
You stand for inspiration
Especially for our warriors
They fight for our nation
Protecting our borders
You stand for equality
Everyone is born equal
No one holds authority
And gives others bad labels
Most important
You stand for hope
You give encouragement
Inspiring us to cope
This is what you stand for
All of this is true
With magnificence you still soar
Showcasing the red, white, and blue
For those who don’t see you that way
They are blind and can’t see the view
No matter what they say
You have a great value
No matter what we go through
Your value will never depart
As I stand before you
With my hand on my heart
