I pledge allegiance to no flag
Of any country it could represent,
Nor any republic, for which it may stand,
Any nation, in existence,
May be lived in without doing so.

I do pledge allegiance to good causes
And to the betterment of society,
To work that helps all people,
Humanity, and perseverance,
And to a better tomorrow.
i saw Green Lantern this weekend, and when i got home i looked up Hal Jordan's Lantern Pledge. one thing led to another, and i ended up reading about the Pledge of Allegiance. it's had a lot of controversy over the years, including whether or not it should be required to to say it in America. me, i prefer not to for quite a few reasons and not all of them are religious. so i thought it would be interesting to write my own pledge, for the sort of things that i do pledge allegiance to.
