I pledge Allegience


I pledge Allegiance to the Flag,

                To this country of the brave

And to the generation of “swag”

                What once was the country of riches and hope

Is now the country with our faces covered by a bag

                Pride and prosperity

Turned to despair and a fleabag

                Once ruled by army generals

Now ruled by money and his hag

                Will he turn the country around

Or just make it suffer Jet lag?

                Hope, love, and prosperity

One day we will be able to brag
