A Moment Of Silence

Ahem

I pledge allegiance to the flag

A Moment of silence please

I’m trying my hardest not to scream

of the United States of America

I’ve never been one

To bully with words

and to the Republic

But what the fuck is wrong with you

There aren’t strong enough verbs

for which it stands

Black vans at birthdays

Graduation to gulag–no jury, no say

One nation

Resounding goose steps and quacks

Marching Gestapo ducks step the fuck back

Under God

All to say, clear and straight, I feel like a coward

For not speaking up, even speaking out loud

Indivisible

I already feel six feet under, dead and buried

Head like these metaphors, tired and weary

With Liberty

A dog without fight, eyes closed, head hung

The moment has come, yet I hold my tongue

And justice

While Lady Liberty waves the white flag

Vultures on her chest, she thrashes, she gags

For all
