The Patriot

 

They found Him lying nieth a bridge

His home a box and

Belongings None’

His meals were crude and came from trash

a bottle of wine, it was His last’

He must have toasted a torrid past

 

They searched His body for some I.D.

but found there none!

 

But in His hand he held so tight

one tin Flag, which read:

 

Oh I am proud for I have served

For with this Flag I shall stand

For the Freedom in this promised Land

Much, much taller then the man

who shall pry this One Tin Flag

From my cold, cold hand.
