Not Yellow

My flag’s color is red, white and blue Which stands for the brave and the true, Where men and women have fought for our liberty And for our freedom they died, for our great country. But, now I see men and women who are so afraid They hide behind every locked door and every window shade, They are afraid and worried to venture by going outside But, if they dare to go, they are always prepared to run and hide. Everyone that they see or meet they perceive them as a threat Not having enough guns, is there greatest fear and regret, Danger they will always find around every street corner Terrorists they will see in every refugee and every foreigner. I am from the country of the proud and the brave Where freedom is for everyone all you do is crave, Where justice and opportunity stands in line and is in attendance To support every person’s fight for their freedom and independence. Some people live their life of that of a shameless coward From fear, their bravery and honor has been devoured, Refugees I am not terrified of, and to other Americans I will bellow My flag is red, white and blue, and not colored yellow.
