Distributed unevenly across velvet twilight
the stars languidly amass into formation
You're late for accountability
No reply
They have extraterrestrial issues to attend
Gravity takes unauthorized leave and everything's jangled
The sheet of sky unfurls revealing it star spangled
Painted stripes red and white
Stretching across the heavens
Bleeding to the soil
Blue,red, and white a fiery sight
See it all engulfed
Charred fabrics flitter in the air
Valantly striving to remain intact
But the feeble fibers would not endure the attack
I breathe a sigh of relief so great
And watch it all disintergrate
