A Rispetto

A chapter in the book Poetry NOOK

Stars and Stripes

by Bucketlist


Our Stars and Stripes national flag
Respect, it always should be afforded
Never purposely onto floor let it drag
An act which must not be rewarded




The years from colonies to nation
There has been more repulsion
Our flag evolving, more often to get

Behaviors of contumely target




Contumely means insolent or insulting behavior
