World Flag of Freedom...?

We squabble and argue, all countries of the world, but are we not united in freedom? Then let us make one flag, to fly over all free countries, one flag against corruption and terrorism, one flag for all nations...would that bring us together, closer, faster? ed

World Flag of Freedom…

 

I do not think,

Every country should have a single flag,

The world does need just one flag,

That flag symbolizing freedom…

 

We should not use the colors of any flag today,

So no other country will get misrepresented,

Or feel the rest of the world did them circumvent,

That would not be my personal, herein intent,

We need to all settle on this flag,

Something we all in the free world can see and to consent…

 

Even if initially each country still did keep their individual flags,

Just for now, we need a freedom flag for the whole worldwide,

One each nation could display with all due pride,

We all have had many deaths, both military and civilian, they all died,

For the reasons this flag is necessary,

To show the others we will go down fighting for our freedom,

We will NOT be afraid, we will show courage even in the face of death…

 

Enough ranting and raving about the new world order, so to speak,

Let us do something that can at least show these terrorists we will not divide,

For it is fear that they try to accomplish, if they do we are finished,

We cannot relinquish our freedoms so long coming,

We must just do what is right, so how about a World United Flag of Freedom?
