The U.S Flag

First they scream how patriotic they are to the flag As they continually boast and brag, They also wear it on their hats and shirts Also on their swimsuits, towels, socks and skirts. They tell us and show us how and when to salute And if we don't, we should all get the boot, And never for the flag should we take a knee We are all patriotic they say, can't you see. The flag they have hugged and loved and kissed Those who disrespected the flag they've shook their fists, Our flag we must always respect With honor and pride and patriotism we must connect. A U.S President has recently fallen Now pride and honor for his service the flag is callin', Now shamefully many scream the flag shouldn't be at half mast In remembrance of a U.S president, who did past.
