Wrapping ourselves in a flag of patriotism
We lose sight of what it means to be
An American when the myth of us is
Wrapped up in the illusion of individuals
Which is ironic since e pluribus unum
Strength comes from interdependency
Weakness comes from being divided
And divided we are on superficial issues

Poem: Harboring Reservations About Freedom
Standing at the edge of the harbor
Where pretending with cold noses
We could smell English tea sinking
To the bottom set to a chorus
Of wild freemen cheering revolution
