Red, White, and Blue

Now,

I'm not calling myself patriotic,

I'm not filled with

Overwhelming pride at what we have done.

Blood stains our flag in stripes,

And when you hoist that flag

To its breezy loft atop a silvery pole

I look up at it and think:

The day I fly a flag of Red, White, and Blue,

I fly the flags of

America, England, France, Norway, Thailand,

And legions more across the globe.

I look up at it and ask:

Why can't we all be

Independent of separation?
