When the anthem begins and the players Hear the words "Oh, say can you see…" Some have chosen not to remain Standing; instead, they've taken a knee.
Taking a knee to protest injustice, The players have faced their critics who feel That when the national anthem is played, People don't have the right to kneel.
But what about a president Who criticizes our institutions-- Who calls the press the enemy And scorns their vigorous contributions?
What about a president Whose racist ties are loud and glaring-- Whose stance on U.S. asylum laws Is unequivocally cold and uncaring?
What about a president Who boldly refuses to take a stand Against the industries that poison Our water and threaten to ravage our land?
What about a president Who throws our allies under the bus And sidles up to Vladimir Putin After what Putin has done to us?
What about a president-- A blowhard who has dropped the ball In dealing with corruption, for his Admin's the most corrupt of all?
What about a president Who calls unpatriotic those Who take a stand--or knee--against Practices that they oppose?
This from a man whose actions border The actions of someone strangely psychotic! Trump has no right to call any Other American unpatriotic.
