US in the USA

America is not make up of one flag

and should never resort to a statement otherwise.

I saw

many flags

that represent you and me

and US because

we are made up of 

gay,

queer,

trans,

immigrant

and so many more populations.

Everyone here stemmed

from a flag 

without red, white and blue.

We need to raise those flags

more often.

We are each stitching, thread, and vibrant color

in each of the flags that makes US.

I saw a ton of flags,

and none of them were "American"

They were US.
