Pledge of Allegiance

For I stand alone...
I pledge Allegiance to the flag
This country was so beautiful and proud
With saddest regards
I sell allegiance to the flag
Because for the first time in my life I worry about my peers tint
Of the Disunited States of America
Where acceptance for LGBT was gained but ripped away
The class stands as one;
A uniform system perfected from years of repetiton
As the students recite their patriotic manifesto
The individuality that allows students to endure the day
'i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america'
but that flag doesn't seem to stand for what it's meant to anymore
and what does the word 'allegiance' even mean
i don't even know how to spell 'allegiance'
Pledge your life to endless pride
We only want total control
Pray for our nation under our God
As we commit genocide
-
Submit to the conditional freedom
Or become our hated scapegoat
Nothing is worse than a history teacher
who forgets the necessity of rebellion.
I sat in a forest of bodies,
all miming the motions of justice.
