like the past,
only different,
once,
ancient hindsight,
now,
new age foresight,
fashionable to,
question motives,
demand answers,
don't ask why,
evaluate,
then,
commit,
techno world,
too wise,
no longer willing,
to do or die,
symbols of past,
still present,
a nations foundation,
sometimes shaken,
never forsaken,
no middle ground,
anarchy to democracy,
then to now,
belief,
up,
down,
spontaneity weakened,
a flag,
tattered and torn,
some scorn,
others mourn, stand together,
shoulder to shoulder,
shore to shore,
when America frowns,
Patriotism,
misplaced,
lost,
once again,
found

Author notes
Patriotism may fade, but is never lost.

Given your background, I suspect we may be political opposites.However I must salute, and applaud this well-crafted and important piece.One good thing about the current polarity is the rebirth of patriotism on both sides, and the spark of a healthy dialog about what it means to be an American.I am encouraged by the fact that we [on both sides] finally took an election seriously, and the everyday American again concerns themselves with the important decisions we face.Bravo Poet!Rob
