The American Flagged (January 17, 1997)

No more letters. But I thought you'd get a charge out of this quick little ditty which you can't publish. - Brian

The American Flagged

We shroud our unborn
in American flags
and pretend that
we just cannot see.

Please, Give me liberty.
Please, Give me death.
Help me, physician,
to be.

We diaper our minds
in drugs and TV
And diaper our freedoms
with glee

And then we pretend
that our shit doesn't stink.
Oh, how wonderful
to be free.

Brian J. McMahon
