Children of the Flag

Children of the Flag, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

some literally sell the flag
its honor and its integrity
for making money
at the expense of the nation
its people with alacrity
while these beggar urchins
for one day become
entrepreneurs
is a marked difference
a thought to pity
the system will now
set up a committee
to inquire whose
hand was caught
in the kitty
