Why Destroy Old Glory Too?

by Debi Pick Marquette

Our America Contest Winner 
(I had the song, "It's Hard to be Humle" by Mac Davis in my head the whole time writing this.
In case you have a hard time following my rhythm, you'll find it with that song)
 
I was always taught to truly respect and cherish our great flag
We were proud to say Old Glory, was worthy of us to brag
We always folded it properly, as it was not just any old swag
Now she might get a new look; the above picture makes me gag

My grandpa was in the First World War, my dad in World war ll
They fought for freedom for all and safety for me and you
All brave souls who've gone to war, gave all for the red white and blue.
National Anthem, hand on my heart; the words with tears so true

As years went by, God was kicked out of government and the school
On those jobs, now reading the Bible, on a break is against the rule
Rules of marriage, gender change and abortion is so very cruel
God once Blessed America dearly, but now He's being played for a fool

Our country had another chance, to move in the right direction
Interference from the other side, blocked all attempts of correction
Crooked politics and the lies, there's been so much deception
I've heard them say that soon there'll be, another great depression

As we become a socialist nation, the truth will come out in the end
Plans to eliminate the middle class; on the government we will depend
You think these fast raising prices, weren't planned by the government?
What we worked so hard for all our life, will soon be as good as spent
 
The fuel and grocery price increase, the struggles some already had
The dealings in China and Tesla, dirty hands that are evil and bad
A good friend, (Pro Political Analyst) had predicted this all iron clad
God, please Stop our country's corruption; give our grandkids the same chance we had

Contest rules say don't hold back, and I always follow the rules.

The friend that I speak of in the last stanza, predicted already when Obama was president, that if the left got back in, all of the price hikes would happen, along with the knowledge of Biden's sneaky dealings with China. Also his hand in Tesla is the reason for the fuel prices. This last week Nancy Pelosi was caught giving her husband confidential stock tips that has made him go from rich to richer, while the rest of us try to follow the rules.
