There was a time not too long ago when a country's flag was a token of awe and utmost respec. Sadly it's been diminished of late....




Hijacked Glory

 

 

There was.a time when it was glory

When it’s ribbons fluttered in blood stained awe

Standing in revered bright isolation

On battled fields and despoiled knolls

 

Weather torn or battle ravaged

Pristinely hung in hallowed halls

Calling all to an inspirited realm

Invoking an altruistic good

 

Yet I see it’s sad demise

Forlornly draped on pickup hoods

Trashed as clothes for deplorables 

Waved by hijacker’s of our laws
