I should have stayed and fought for you
I pledge allegiance
Watered the flowers you gave me too,
To the flag
Listened close to your favorite song
Of the United States of America
The birds have stopped humming, all along
And to the republic
I should have stayed to heal your scars
For which it stand
Healed the oceans, healed the stars,
One nation
Protected your forests as they burned
Undergod
From your lessons I should have learned
Indivisible
I will begin to feel it at night
With liberty
Suffocation, in absence of light
And justice for all
I saluted flags in the sky,
While oceans drained, while forests died.
I pledge of allegiance, not just to man,
But to the rivers, mountains, sea, and land.
