I got published in Subversify! :)

Patriotism is Ignorance.

Fearless, the noble creature
defied the determination of that car.
Courageous, the mother animal
stood
awaiting this fate to
protect her young; their freedom.
Honorable, she
leapt as a sacrifice, into the mouth of the metal beast,
intending on
perpetuating her legacy. "She
was a brave one, she
was.
Fought for us all."

Her last thoughts:
     which way do I go
     which way do I -
       
          smash.
          and you call this: __ bravery?
                                    __ courage?
                                    __ honor?
                                    __ sacrifice?

Forgive me for only seeing
a sheep crossing the street.
