"Friendship is a wild card: The worth and promise varies."


The American flag waves through the chaos and trouble,
we see the flag as a beacon of peace


The message the flag so gallantly sends truly is subtle,
and the highest sign of honor at the least.

Standing true the flag sends us a thought,
a message of the homeless all over the nation
But as a population, do we care of the havoc that’s been wrought,

God created us to live in tranquility, but do we even care if we give to charity a simple donation.

As our soldiers fight over in Iraq,
do we think twice of the causes of this war
I should think not, most of us choose to watch and lay back,
however of the right decision, we are not quite sure.

I believe that a change should occur for us all,
a day of reckoning should come to our aid
But if an American flag is visible, raised high and tall
Look to the colors, the red, white, and blue shade.

I wrote this around Veteran's Day a while back, I believe. It is of the highest honor to our soldiers.
