Red, white, and blue
Patriotism - the colors of
blood, sweat, and muzzle flash
A flag waved over the “liberated,”
     the defeated,
          the deceased
Folded triumphantly,
     a triangle in a coffin,
          it rots
The truth lies forgotten
It looks up with dead eyes
and from empty sockets, weeps
     Heroism losing meaning
