You want me to pledge allegiance to the flag..A flag what’s patriotism should have disguised to meThat it was bred to
I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America.
This first line always makes me queasy.
It doesn't sound
I don't recognize my own reflection anymore.
That sad, broken girl in the mirror can't be me, can it?
How did this happen?
How do I fix this?
That's it. No more selfies.
No more selfies will I post,
I pledge allegianceto the mediaof the United States of Americaand to the partyfor which it speaksan entire nationunder the influenceuninformedwith propaganda and deception for all.
I pledge that I will not come back to this country if this country will not come back to me.
This nation, The United States of America, as segregated as it is, I still call it home.
