Patriots

Patriots
Simple fools
Waving national flags
In place of intelligent discussion.

Patriots
The deplorables
Who escaped the baskets
To bore us all with their narrow vision.

Patriots
Generally, part of the deluded religious
Who think God and country
Are the same thing.

Patriots
Those of us who are
Usually lacking in opportunity
Who cling to clichés, devoid of thought.

Patriots
Those who were scared
By their parent’s poverty of ideas
Making up for it ever since by being cunts.

Patriots
People who think an over developed
Sense of country, makes up for
All other disappointments in life.

Patriots
People who don't generally
Understand the power
Of healthy scepticism.

Patriots
Someone who doesn't usually
Realise their mother was
A woman rather than a saint.

Patriots
Who have so little imagination
The only thing they can think to revere
Is the dirt under their feet.

Patriots
So unworldly
They have little understanding
That it is people and not continent there is to admire.

Patriots
Misguided fools
Getting Southern Cross Tattoos
Like they mean something profound.
