The Weathered Flag
Trending: Hillary, Huma and the Muslim Brotherhood
By Mary Kay Tewell
I have been tattered,
I have been torn,
I have seen blood, battles,
And newborns.
I represent your freedom,
I represent your states,
I represent the colonies,
That began your fate.
Remember I am part
Of your forefather’s start
To begin the freedom
We hold dear to our hearts.
I am the flag you wave in battle,
I am the flag they’ll burn
To make you unravel,
I am the flag that slams the gavel.
There’s no turning back.
There’s no “making it right”
There’s only FREEDOM
Fueling our fight.
