Our Flag Means Death

Our Flag Means Death

I pledge allegiance,

To the flag,

To the Red White and Blue

Façade.

To the stars and the stripes,

Under God we stand,

but when we fall -

our Flag means Death.

The stripes no longer White, and Red -

Not Pure and Independent.

Stars uniting a Nation.

Instead -

White and Black,

with a thin blue line,

Star studded

with school children

dead.

Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain.

(Titus Andronicus : 1:1 : 464)

Our flag means death

by Media

when a sitting President can,

Ensue a riot on the Capital

Will be wild -

His stance.

Against his very own

Second in Command.

This all after lies on lies -

scandal after scandal -

Evasion , Fraud , Theft , and Rape.

And yet, His People

still fall for this ape…

He stands for our Flag.

Our Flag Means Death.

Alas, a crimson river of warm blood, Like to a bubbling fountain stirred with wind

(Titus Andronicus : 2:4 : 22-23)

Our flag means death

For those of us with

tender dahlia buds

between our legs.

But here - instead - the red

is dripping

blood.

The white stripes,

of Purity and Innocence

are forcefully taken for sport.

The stars,

our rights,

under city lights,

disappearing from the source.

My Body ; My Choice -

is not for all

when

your Flag means Death.

She is a woman, therefore may be wooed: She is a woman, therefore may be won.

(Titus Andronicus : 2:1 : 86-87)

Our flag means death

for all of us

residing in this country

That Boasts and Brags of

Baring Arms

with no end

to gun violence.

We’re “Free to Speak,”

but not too loud

and not against religion.

Though religion too,

is “Free” to us -

as long as you are Christian.

The “Freedoms” too

of Assembly

and of the Press -

as long as it is fiction spouted ;

to discriminate,

hurt and oppress.

Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.

(Titus Andronicus : 2:3 : 38-39)
