flag warning

As America I say:
hey, beautiful. Don’t
spit on the troops. Don’t
foul the flag. You may find
a bald eagle screaming out of
a skyful of daytime fireworks
to take care of you if you do,
and while a video like that on
You-Tube would guarantee
a ton of hits…let's just say 
I wouldn't want one of them

to be you.

However, that last part?
Don't mind me. I say that
to everyone as an American.
Just a general warning of hope
and message, not specifically-related

to anything you'd ever really do
liable to bringing screaming eagles
out of the sky at you. Yet you know,

we can never be safe in this world 
from a thing like that. It pays 

to keep wary and strong
on such scores. Best defense 
is a good attitude against 
the eagles

circling above us all,  
perchance to kill, biding
their magnificent 
eyesight 

for strong cause 
and bunnies
