A Recited Truth MAG
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the controversial culture for which it stands
One nation, under whatever deity you choose,
Indivisible since 1965,
With liberty and justice for all who can afford a decent lawyer.

Its so true its sad. Great job.
It's true that this poem make fun of the U.S. And so do I. I love my country, but satire reminds us of the things that are wrong with the system.
I know my side: I love America, but there are things wrong with her system. I support my country, and I support those who see the flaws and bring them to light.
I know it's spelled wrong. It's a "thing" I have another account under the name "Valkerie." :)
This is so true. The Pledge is beautiful and all, but it doesn't tell evrything. (for instance, as an atheist, it's annoying to have to include God in the pledge. I understand we're a Christian nation, but God shouldn't be an official part of the Pledge.)
There is so much corruption in the legal system, it's not even funny. It's really sad, actually.
That said, I do love my country. I live for her, and I die for her. But even though America is a wonderful country, we have a lot of problems.
Some would call your post disrespectful. I say that it is more respectful than the official Plaedge itself, in that yours is absolutely true. You give credit to the good and the bad, in a smart, funny way.
Wonderful job!!
