Persona Poem

I am The American Flag,
I wave in front of Post Offices,
People stand up to praise me in school,
Before the first pitch,
At the Lincoln Memorial.
Flap, Flap.

My thirteen stripes and fifty stars,
Were supposed to remind Americans of their history.
Sadly, they sometimes use me to prove the worth of their political party,
Justify wars on drugs and on terror,
Spread Democracy to the rest of the world -
Whether it's wanted or not.

Soldiers carry me into battle,
I represent freedom,
The American Way,
But not necessarily the way for the whole world.
God Bless America.
