The Patriot

The Patriot
By Floyd Emmerling,
Bee Branch, AR

The patriot must love the whole wide world
If in his own country he would be safe
He takes pride if old glory is unfurled
When Uncle Sam behaves with love and grace.
Preemption might be paranoid
Don’t say it is for oil!
Deceit might breed more terror
Don’t you think?
It is false patriotism that
So disregards another people’s worth
If all men are created equal then
The patriot must love the whole wide world.
