The Underlying Pledge of Allegiance

Don’t, for a second, get me wrong – I love this country, and I am very blessed to have been born here. BUT, there’s another side to America that I feel needs to be addressed… I haven’t completely figured it out, but this might be the beginning of it. I was inspired, in part, by Shane Claiborne’s book, The Irresistable Revolution

This pledge was also meant to be partnered with my image, The United States of Avarice

The Underlying Pledge of Allegiance belongs to the following groups:

Current Issues

I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United(?) States of Avarice…
And to the hypocrisy
For which it kneels to
A torn nation
Under Mammon
Divisible between Democrats and Republicans only
With liberty and justice for those who can afford it
