Dec 2020
a time of white lies
are running through
ripping the red
burning the blue
what once waved proudly
to a star spangled tune
now seems
to be hanging loose
a bitter pill
this taste of the truth
losing its will
up to the hilt
the red, white, and blue
i believe the lies are quite a bit darker than white...to tell the truth, which gives me the blues
