Red, White, and Blue

brown and black,
red, and white...
old and young,
male and female.

tired and poor,
pushed too far!
too honest for
our own good...

small towns, big cities,
farms and factories...
hands that work
joined together...

we are a people
that believe in people...
the faces of freedom,
and we have names!

red, white, and blue!
