The Semiotics of The American Flag

The red stripe is symbolically representative of valor and bravery  
We're being slaughtered in the streets but that's supposed to be ok I see
And many feel that we should take pride in a song by Francis Scott Key
While being pissed off because of some football players taking a knee
The white stripe is symbolically representative of innocence  
Void of all things colored anywhere within its pure presence  
While the color black is considered evil or of gloom inherently  
Blackmail or the black male living in hell is all the same apparently  
The blue stripe is representative of vigilance, perseverance and justice  
All of those attributes are admired and revered except when it comes to us
Instead we're called son's of bitches by an ignorant narcissistic ass president  
More and more everyday I have an increase in my dismay over all this bullshit
