I pledge semi-interested attention
To the flag being burned
Of the Bipartisan States of America.
And to the media empire for which it stands,
Many individuals unwillingly grouped,
Not allowed to mention God,
With liberty for those who agree with us
And justice for those who we can use for our benefit.

The author's comments:
I usually don't get cynical like this, but I've been thinking about our political world recently and I'm outraged at what our once-great nation is turning into. I wrote this to try and bring some attention to what we are coming to.
