Allegiance

From the very beginning, Their scheme was a hoax. And those who did not pledge to it... Were harrassed and provoked. And through the years, This 'republic' still stands... With little of its integrity left. And liars still in command. And the flag that represents, This symbolic mock of democracy. Unites only those whose eyes are shut closed. With beliefs they uphold something of value, That exists. But those who are thieves... Have only used the image of it, To oppress and steal... And harness a fulfillment, Of their greediness. 'How can you say that about this fine democracy? ' Trust me... I am very loyal 'and' patriotic, With an allegiance to a flag pledged. I know I've stated my allegiance Has been to a republic. But is this 'dichotomy' a democracy... To which my devotion has been applied! Or 'who' exactly benefits from my conformity? And which group of liars, Should my efforts really criticize? I don't want to let none of my 'hoodwinkitis' To go to waste just to be left bamboozled!
