Flagged

Perhaps the colors tagged

with Stripes and fifty stars

Red, white and blue flagged

Need a color review from Mars

Looking down upon the Earth

The planet marvel that is home

Out of the inky black berth

Green, white & blue marblestone

Might red of valor & hardiness

Be nurtured to blend into green

Surrender to our interdependence

With Earths call for air clean

Might white of innocence & purity

Be toned into verdancy of green hue

Uniting our nation’s polarity

A bridge for red states and blue

Might blue of vigilance & Justice

Be swirled into seas of green

May our faith be in environmentalist

Waves of creativity, renewal gleam

Waving the flags for each nation

With unique emblems & patterns

May Commitment be our relation—

For Environment~all humanity stands

Perhaps the colors tagged

with Stripes and fifty stars

Red, white and blue flagged

Need green colored stars & bars

Waving our greenery flag

May we pledge allegiance

in surrender and solidarity—

with Planet Earth!!

The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.
