Hang Them
Hang Them

Another nation's flag
flying in my flag's stead,
the proud stars and stripes
crumpled to ground as if dead.
My country's own children
defiling what I hold dear,
symbols of hard won freedom
while they jeer and cheer.

Rage and disgust rise
up from my very core.
In despair, I shout, wipe
them from this shore.
