Greatest Nation On Earth

The boy marches circles in the front yard,
waving the three-colored flag in his hand.
"Our noble country is the greatest nation
in the history of the world because we."
The boy pauses by the tree in his yard
and stares at the vast sky where airplanes fly.
"Why are we the greatest nation in history
and what is the name of our noble country?"
The boy opens the small book in his hand
and looks at pictures of national heroes.
"Who is this noble hero of our nation
and what does he do that makes us so great?"
The boy sees gang of boys riding their bikes
so he raises toy rifle and shoots sounds.
"Alone I must defend our noble nation
from the evil enemies of our state."
The boy stares surprised when the gang of boys
form tight circle around him in his yard.
"Shall we together sing heart-stirring anthem
about our greatest nation in the world?"
The boy waves the flag and begins to sing,
"We are the greatest nation in the world
because our noble heroes perform deeds
protecting our people and land from harm."
The oldest boy yanks rifle from his hand
and smashes it to shards against the tree.
"We are not the greatest nation on Earth
because we are not yet ruling the world."
The movie director in black beret
shouts, "Cut," so the cameras stop recording.
"Speak the words with more bitterness of loss
to show you once believed the propaganda."
The boy nods his head, and takes a deep breath,
then speaks the words again with great conviction.
"We are not the greatest nation on Earth
since we betray our principles of rights."
Everybody on the movie set laughs
and the boy waves the three-colored flag wildly.
"Our noble country is the greatest nation
because we rule the world through loyal puppets."
The boy thinks about his father who works
building engines at the car factory.
"My father told me when he flew airplanes
during the war he dropped bombs on small farms."
The boy pauses by the tree in the yard
and salutes the giant ghost in the sky.
"Our nation is nothing more than vast land
possessed by my people who killed the natives."
