The MAGA pledge
Pledge allegiance to a new flag,
of these United States being run by
the MAG..
Once a nation under God,
now being led by a demagogue..
Pledge allegiance to the man,
with his ever growing Trump brand.
As autocracy reigns from sea to sea,
let the rich and the powerful
rewrite our history.

AS THE FLAG UNFURLS
AS THE FLAG UNFURLS*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the flag unfurls,
its colors bold against the waking sky—
each star, each stripe a testament
to pride, honor, and patriotism.
pride, not a shield, is a bridge,
linking the stories of brave soldiers,
those who once fought in battlefields,
their shadows etched in the soil,
their courage a whisper in the rustling leaves.
honor is a compass, etched in

Folded in Ink and Stars
A banner flutters in miniature pride,
stars frozen mid-waltz, stripes folding
like gentle waves—
a tiny chorus of red, white, blue.
I imagine the seam of that paper flag,
its edges serrated like hopeful teeth,
waiting to bite into air,
to sail across neighborhoods on whispered wings.
Each star is a promise—
a small light in a massive sky.
Each stripe, a pulse:
resilience, unity, churned

Men like him
i get shown time and time again by broken men
red flags and warning signs
i think they will change
but in reality the only person changing is me
the sweet loving girl i once was
is being turned into someone cold and harsh
a girl who once had brown glistening eyes
and shiny brown hair
now her eyes are black and blank

THE FOLDED FLAG
I used to be proud to fly our American flag as from childhood I was taught
I used to fly our American flag without giving it a second thought.
But I see a divided country now…one that is quickly moving away from democracy
and even though there are people out there who see things differently than me
in

No Flag on the Hill
No Flag on the Hill
He woke to the hiss of burning plastic
a child's shoe, half-melted in the road.
Something like singing came from the mosque,
but it was only wind
through broken glass.
The birds left weeks ago.
Even the dogs are quiet now.
A rusted swing creaks in a schoolyard
where no one plays anymore.
A mother once painted the front

AMERICA
America, is my home, I love it with all my heart, and will never part.
It has had its up and downs, and sometime caused me alarm.
America has grown through all its ways, ways to make better days.
It has gone to war, and fought for rights, died and saved lives, that now work hard

Underneath that Grand old Flag
Natives interrupted
Guns pointed to their chests
Blown away like beautiful dandelions
Into that sweltering sun
Americans lollygag
In their newly claimed land
Under that grand old flag
Slaving away, picking cotton
Under the South’s heat of injustice
Scarred with inhumane treatment
Sweating tears and pain
Burdens heavier than sandbags
Yes, they’re slaving away
Under that southern flag
Stripped away from homes and work
And terrorized prior still
No voice spoke

When I See The Haitian Flag
When I see the Haitian flag, tears rush into my eyes.
When I see the Haitian flag, my Haitian heart cries.
Our people have been ridiculed, yet our flag continues
To flow unimpeded. We will never die on our knees.
If we must die, we will die standing like brave soldiers.
We will not bow our head. We will stare

At the Battlelines of Love Waving A White Flag
"When our dance of love became frantic, I faltered, and you danced on my grave."

"How did it come to this, my darling one? We may never know the answer, but with the rain in my eyes, you look so beautiful in red."

Every direction only led further from you. Every decision was the

We Are One
Red and white glory freely flies
Mapleleaf, strong and proud, framed by bright blue skies
From glacier fjord to mountain stream
Over fields of gold and trees of green
Nothing is more beautiful to see
Than that red maple leaf flying free
The simple flag is our greatest treasure,
Heralding a nation beyond measure
There is nothing I would rather be
than an honored

Red Flag
You say you're no prince of mine,
but what else could you be?
A hitchhiker in my heart,
a pedestrian in my mind?
Is that you under the harsh sun,
holding a holey parasol?
Maybe you're fleeing
the crime scene
of your heartbreaking.
But you see,
none of that makes
any sense to me.
So I wait here,
for you to appear
on a cream-colored horse.

In colors bold, our freedom sings
Red, white, and blue in unity clings
A nation's pride, where hope takes wing
