::: She’s the Finest :::

She deserves to be woven
together with silk, velvet,
and the finest fabrics
in a byzantine fashion.

She ought to be adorned
with the finest gemstones
embellished in a baroque
manner, with red, white and
blue treasures from earth.

The dichotomy of democrat
and republican, mean nothing
to her, for she can not be reduced
to a petty, pretentious, political party
She is the voice of American Conscience.

She dances to and fro
from the left to the right
with a manner of grace
that will make you fall
quite in love with her
as she is moved by
the winding winds
blowing back
and forth
to and fro:

What is her name?
I think you know:
She is called:

The American Flag
