Poetry: The American flag

by Mascaretta Shamoo

Created on: July 25, 2008

Given to stand for a Land that once honored God,

Oh, so Grand,

The stories it could tell,

Children's hands of velvet touching it and feeling the promise,

That they too could grow up under the truth,

Yearning to be like their parents, proud and free,

Now...

The symbol makes you want to cry,

No prayer in school,

God is not honored much of anywhere,

Our Nation has become dilluted,

Polluted with unrighteousness, not to mention all the wickedness,

If...

We are to survive, we must turn our hearts to God, for he offers a life sempiternal,

Life without grief or strife,

The American Flag,

We must lift our Nation back to God,

Remember solidarity is where we must start,

We no longer need an American Flag,

We now need a Nehemiah Flag flying in our minds,

When you see an American Flag,

See the lives of those who died, protecting us giving us cover,

See the families and friends burden from being left without them,

See the children looking up the pole as they lift it higher and higher to wave freedom across this Great Land,

Most of all, See what you can do to make us who we were once again!
