Yes, the flag is the symbol of patriotism for any country of the world. It should evoke pride and honour in one's country. Well chosen words and message. faye

very patriotic & a real flag waver. Stars & stripes all the way. Let's charge forward & be damned with the cannons. I'm Australian but I recognize & appreciate strong patriotism no matter what country it comes from

Comment from royowen
It's really funny how relics are so interesting to human beings. In days pays past when indulgences were in vogue and one could "purchase salvation) it was also thought the same about relics. It's really funny because Martin Luther thought it could be a free gift, Ephesians 2:8-9. This is an easier.one to interpret Michael with some lovely phrases incorporated in it!

Nice to see your posting again. I am participating a little more in Fan these days. Your poem here denotes again your love for music. My fave line "humble as every man's equal in every hour divine /American rhymes...for one reason."

Comment from Joan E.
Your animated American flag caught my attention and drew me into your poem. I always admire your references and "Shroud of Turin". Your title and its repeat are memorable. Here's to "Old Glory" and "every man's equal"! Hugs and happy weekend- Joan

Thank God a Patriot at last...Hey J....yea I woke up humming the star spangled banner this morning. I have red hair ...so I put on a white t-shirt and some blue jeans...hung the flag and saluted it in tear drop sincerity....this doesn't happen very often so I try to revel in it when I can...most of the neighbors are used to it by now, the police hardly ever come any more....-wink- ahh thank you Maam...love you Michael
Comment from mvbrooks
The poem has a patriotic intention. However, the references are unclear and not sure how they relate to America.
It might help to tie the words/images together with some transitions so the reader does not have to pause and reflect on "what is he trying to say."
"Lazereth born again"
--did you mean Lazarus?
"unusual to find Shroud of Turin
special is a pioneer of first explorers
straight ahead waves exceptions bountiful spread"
--I did not understand this reference, repeated in the poem. "Unusual to find Shroud of Turin" where?

I'm in synch with your words since I don't give up hope and was touched by the video, Mike. I guess it's just the change of seasons with me. I turn inward to try and discover once more my beliefs.
