The “New” flag was unfurled today
It was a “Revolutionary” concept in “Standard” design
In keeping with the duality of our psyche
This “State of the State” symbol of National Efficiency
And Endowment, was a two-sided banner
Side A was dominated by a glittering, gold
Dollar sign…resplendent in a field of “Currency Green”
Our “Neoteric” symbol of wealth and power
Was flanked on the left by a representation
Of the “Top Hatted” banker from the game “Monopoly”
Numerous cards fell, floating from omnivorous hands
All inscribed with……… “Get out of jail free”
On the right of the dollar sign was an oil tanker
Plowing through grayish, inanimate seas
Immense…Intrepid…Intimidating
Banker…Tanker…Canker…together…on “souled” out satin
The “back” side of our “Pennant of Purity”
Consisted of an expanse of “Unsoiled White Filaments”
Exploding outward from a golden and radiant sun
Held aloft by an antediluvian, hoary hand
Whilst down below…reaching…stretching from…below
Were long, emaciated, arching…fingers
Twisted, curled, dirtied, broken……..bloodied
Cast in hues of Black and Brown and Red and Yellow
Reaching, forever reaching…forever drowning
In a pallid sea of alabaster anachronisms
And across America, a new breed of school children
Ashen, hollow eyed, culturally bereft
Proclaimed fealty…….to the “New Order”
“I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the divided states of America
And to the Oligarchy for which it stands
One nation, One God, Discriminating Indiscriminately
With Liberty and Justice…for the privileged few”
