Stripes

The flag is upside down today.
the stripes black, broken lines.
the stars X.s
on a field of blood.
My ancestors, my divines
shudder under this banner.
I rage at the orange creation
responsible for this desecration.
He wallows in evil
and wakes in shame.
My memory is long,
these stripes will not fade.
