[hometext] => Is it just me or are you tired of seeing patriotism being used as a marketing ploy?
[bodytext] => I saw it on t.v. the other day Drink Miller beer for democracy! You're either for us or against us! Drink our beer or you're for the terrorists! This fourth of July lets remember our veterans As they have served this great nation This message brought to you by Kroger Where we're selling 12 packs of Pepsi for a dollar! You know what? SHUTUP! Wrap yourself in the American flag I watch you and it makes me gag Riding off in your SUV What have you done for your country? They say patriotism is obeying without question I'm glad our forefathers didn't set themselves to that standard! If they did we wouldn't even call ourselves Americans! We'd still be living as Britians! Why do you say you support the soldiers And don't question what we're sending them to war for! I mention that Bush has given them combat pay cuts And for some reason you don't want to hear it! Has Fox News got you that brainwashed? Conform, Obey, and Don't ask questions? Just be patriotic with your lips and not with actions While you cause the ruin of this nation I'm tired of watching flags on SUVs You're keeping our oil from being free! You may think that I'm being a downer When I say Al Queda thanks you for your Hummer! I'm tired of talking to chickenhawk civilians Supporting the war as long as their children aren't serving. How many more soldiers have to come home in a box Before you realize that Bush ***** up? I tell you this is the first war with post-war combat casualties And you turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to see You say you love America but I can see That you secretly hate this country. Real patriots don't just use their lips they use actions To show that they love their nation They may not say things that you like But they know the meaning of sacrifice True patriotism means the right to protest Against our own government's injustice The truest patriotism isn't just having your country treasured It's loving your country enough to hold it to a higher standard [comments] => 4 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 6 [informant] => DJ_The_Young_Grasshopper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
