Stand UP for your flag
Location
The soldiers are hungry.
They live on meager meals,
Meager meals indeed.
While we sit here,
cracking jokes, and breaking yolks
in home economics.
Supplies are sent,
But not enough,
Not what they really need.
While we sit here,
eating lunch
*CRUNCH*
The soldiers are brave,
They stand their ground,
As enemy life approaches.
While we sit here,
making amends with our friends,
between our classes
They don’t ask why,
Or cry, wishing to die
Their bodies come home in coaches.
While we sit here,
complaining about equations
and contemplations.
The soldiers are loyal,
Never waiver as
they stand under their flag’s command.
While we sit here,
too tired to stand,
for the Pledge of Allegiance.
What a sham.
Here comes the enemy,
They stand their ground,
And they
all
fall
down
They
all
fall
down
They
all
fall
down
They say, "ignorance is bliss"
Is that right, "Principal, miss"?
