nor would this mid dull aged baby boomer, who blithely followed establishmentarian charade acting without know why stars and stripes got saluted.

what all this blather and hoopla dribbling embarrassingly
over a footballer player,
who owns the right to forego pledging
allegiance to...what?

America boastfulness? capitalistic depravity? egoistic fanaticism? glorified hucksterism? indomitable gerrymandering? Machiavellian machinations?, and the list goes on...tracing and bending backward in time when might equaled right, and those debonair, powered/ pomaded hair, leer ring kings of leon drove a stake into the heart of innocence and purity, when ruthless, selfish, and treachery wrenched indigenous occupants of these lands,

THUS....  Touchdown for Colin Kaepernick
noah rant, rave or rabid byte zing
er, from yet another web cruiser
so, i haint another B52, 747, nor boo wing
brouhaha against your choice against salute ting
the Stars and Stripes, where many
online patriot game watchers wanna swing
you with a sucker punch or pistol-whip ya over the head

until each ear doth ring
heard all the way back to reign of the Qing
Dynasty, where ye might be revered
cuz ja got tackled as a traitor with endless har ping
from many another maniacal mechanical motor mouth
from a New Yawk borough, or the enclave of Ossining

freely tossing in their two sense like nattering
nabobs of negativity from.... across the states mandating
that ye (WHO OWN the INALIENABLE RIGHT of
FREE EXPRESSION - non verbal or otherwise)
once the storied, paraded, mollycoddled dar ling
now ardent fans fanatically go berserk and rogue
with raucous, obnoxious and libelous king
size bully tactics demanding

you plant right hand over left breast
(and play by the unspoken rules of JINGOISM)
i.e. unquestioned obeisance toupee hair-raising homage
like discordant jangling
which personal preference suddenly dominate ing
jamming mass media communication -

with billions of dollars riding buckshot revering Old Glory,
Newscasters getting a run for their money to the end zone
unsolicited absolute horror at such blatant traitorous actions

when such a decorated, gussied, kickstarter undeserving
to be held in high esteem, BUT I APPLAUD self expression
(and if in the klieg lights, i would act likewise) giving
thee nonestablishmentarian stance of mine a forwarding
pass, that got hurled around the globe exploding

wrathful gripes sullying America especially during
a poignant moment to such booboo monkeys that cling
for dear life to false sense of
   grandeur AND exploitation bing
blithe to the turf wars imposed
  by fore fathers long since aging
in mausoleums, who did rent asunder
   plunder, pillage and rape
under the aegis of imperialism.

YOU GO COLIN!
and other KNEELING pig skin vaunted yardbirds!
