Red and Blue I Love You

Flag Day MMV

A poet in a troubled country at the edge of time
I seek to speak the truth albeit stylized and in rhyme
One state two state red state blue state we all wait for the spring
Which some would force to hurry up the return of the king
Dysphoric dysthymic democracy of thee I sing

While patient red state readers sigh and pass on to the next
Blue staters dig and delve to find themselves within the text
Of these the strange creations of this the strange creator
Just little old me your pencil-wielding gladiator
And I mean no one any harm I only would keep warm

But if you warm a little too just know that I love you
Red and blue with some white between if you know what I mean
