After 9/11, flags
Were proudly on display
To show the world we stood together
In the U.S.A.
Such a rare attack at home
United every side,
So stars and stripes were flown
To show defiance, strength and pride.
Yet now that symbol has become
An icon of the right
And seeing flags on people’s homes
Makes me a bit uptight.
It’s sad to know the comfort
That the flag had once provided
Has been altered to portray a land
So hopelessly divided.
