Where have the Flags gone?

Where have the Flags gone?

Savannah Wallace ‘17

A legendary declaration made for inalienable rights
A sense of unity brought on by common strife
A daring ride made in the dead of night
A land famous for giving people new life

A new superpower brought on by a shift to Truman
Centuries of isolation ended due to a war that brought on ruin

A civic duty felt when joining the house that’s white
Power given to the common people
A significant advantage that gives our country its might

But with a continued stream of terrible news
Some people seem to forget about the red, white, and blue

Patriotism is not limited to a calendar date
Americans must remember to appreciate
A legendary declaration made for inalienable rights
A sense of unity brought on by common strife
A daring ride made in the dead of night
A land famous for giving people new life
