Salute the troops
Salute the flag
Flag this poem
Flag the ragtag
Ragtag cities
Ragtag people
People don’t think
People are sheeple
Sheeple herds
Sheeple follow like birds
Birds that flock together
Birds flyin due south due to weather
Weather that's nice
Weather that's bad
Bad things happen
Bad to follow fads
Fads will make you suspect
Fads will make you believe
Believe you’re fighting for freedom
Believe you’re free
Free to make choices
Free to die
Die like the fowl
Die in the sky
Sky filled with death and blackness
Sky empty of light
Light is truth
Light ain’t always bright
Bright beams of
Bright lies in disguise
Disguised as patriotism or
Disguised to hide cries
Cries from refugees
Cries from blood beneath earth
Earth crying out
Earth dying from hurt
Hurt people
Hurt people
People justify
People lie like dogs
Dogs like the bone dry
Dogs’ tongues stay tied
Tied hands stay bound
Tied down with silence
Silence they say is golden
Silence has killed
Killed with censorship
Censorship…
Kills…
