Taking A Knee

He took a knee and everyone began talking At a sporting event when the flag was displayed, They screamed he better stand and start walking As Americans and so called patriots were dismayed. The patriots had stood up and saluted the flag As it flew in pride and honor for all Americans there, Never will it touch the ground or ever sag They scream their love, patriotism and honor and care. Now as I am just sitting and wondering About the time an American athlete took a knee, And now I am still reminiscing and pondering How it bothered Americans, including you and me. He took a knee at a major American sporting event In protest against the lack of attention of police brutality in the USA, Americans screamed and attacked his un-American intent Now those same Americans think flying the flag upside down is OK.
