National Poetry Day

I was inspired to write that after 'being German' blocked me from participating in a contest.

                                               Patriotism,

                                               a scapegoat of sorts

                                               hunted by cowards

                                               to cover-up crimes

                                               or merely for sports

                                               Still holy by roots

                                               that love of national good

                                               arises from ashes

                                               phoenix of the hood

                                               Scorn the Bad& Abusive

                                               Encourage what’s Good!
