According to Joe
Joe Gedan



Pseudo-patriotism

They pledge allegiance to the flag

But not for the republic for which it stands.

They claim to be patriots, can't you tell?

Each wears a flag pin on his lapel.

When liberty and justice they eschew

They drape themselves in red, white and blue.

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
