Whose Flag Is It?

Stuart Stotts

Whose flag? Whose flag is it?
Whose flag? Flying free?
Whose flag? Whose flag is it?
It belongs to you and me.

In backgrounds for commercials
A pin on a lapel
Bumper stickers. Baseball caps
T-shirts and tattoos as well But

You smooch it like a lover.
You’re misty when it waves
If Betsy Ross could see you
She’d be spinning in her grave.

You’re waving it with one hand
saying “Look here at old glory”
but what you’re doing with the other hand is
quite a different story.

Despite the gripes of the right-wing types
We all own the Stars and Stripes.

Right-wing or the left-wing
Blues or the Reds
How can we all share this thing
Without ripping it into shreds?
