I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I started writing this poem the same night of the attacks of 9/11
Red, White, and Blue (revised)
by Cynthia E. Jones
As I watch in terror and I weep
my tears are shining through,
On a steel and concrete heap
our flag Red, White, and Blue
She is our testament
our freedoms go untouched
She is our comfort and needed so much
with all her glory she stands with honor
not giving way to this unspeakable terror
We gave her life with stitch and staff
she gives us pride and this Country has,
Strength and endurance with total unity
no matter religion or political beliefs
We stand United and forever true
This Country with Our Flag,
Red, White, and Blue
Yesterday we argued not politically correct
today we mourn our losses and yet,
We are at peace with God's love
he is with us giving strength, making us one
When today becomes yesterday and tears still flow
Our strength is tested and our pride will show,
that no man on earth can take away,
The freedoms fought for, and on this day
it is what's needed to carry on
To give honor in the loss of our daughters and sons
No one can justify the terror taken place
no one can make memory a mere erase
as evil has now been given a face
We will find comfort in our Unity
As a Nation standing true
For pride, freedom, justice and our flag
Red, White, and Blue
When we sing of freedom, it is so much more
that we know this great land is hated for
Others are jealous of our balance and unity
with our differences, being proud of our diversity
Others will shudder and call us names
When in fact they wonder how to achieve the same
and attack us, calling it holy and done in his name
And when disillusioned and in dismay,
they strike at us in anger and in hostility
Causing mayhem and pain on me and on you
Freedom reigns while we pledge allegiance to
Our flag...Red, White, and Blue
