Uncle Sam Red | 
|
| I watched one day as a flag was raised
New and bright and crisp
The wind blowing just enough
To unfurl it in the morning brisk
I thought back to all who have died for this great country
Black, white, red, yellow
They were all my brothers
They were all hero's to me
And they all had mothers
There were men and women
From all walks of life
Some with strange ways
But all burned inside with patriotism
So all were my family
Even in those strange days
When I looked upon that new flag
It reminded me of one thing
Although they were all different
They bled Uncle Sam red
And now they are all dead
But they left me with a legacy
For now I see no color
I see no more differences
I only see the color red
Of my friends that are dead. | By Steven J. Newton
