ABOUT PATROITISM
















Blind loyalty,
or mad nationalism, perhaps.
Civic cockiness?
Ballsy togetherness?
Us vs. Them.
We're number one!
Go Team Go!
All is fair in love and war.
You're not part of the collective we,
it is you therefore, that I abhor.
Pride in country,
emboldened by one's culture.
Walls are built.
Allies and Enemies.
We the good,
our philosophies pure.
We the strong,
we the brave.
Anthems written,
which celebrate our greatness.
Flags waved,
colours worn.
The true North strong and free.
Please stand,
remove your caps,
a little respect, please.
Or something like that.

  2. Thanks man. I haven't been as prolific as I would like. Funny thing about newborns and the lack of time to think or write.
