Flag Day Not
Should be a day for waving that flag and pride for my country
Not for stroking the ego of a demented leader
Not for watching him destroy the White House history
Not for a wrestling match on our lawn
Not for stealing our country’s dignity
Not for leading with lies and more lies
Not for curbing the arts, our health, our education
Not for setting more margins for the marginal
Just simply NOT.

Sometimes, a poet must lay it all on the line and literary subtlety be damned. That’s what you did in this one. Fine work.
Yes, Linda! Yes!
Linda, powerful words!
You go, Linda!
Indeed!
Linda leads the charge!
Amen!
You said it! Oh, that it wasn’t so!
I’d put you in that cage fight of words as well!!
Well said.
