Flag

What's that fluttering in a breeze?

Its just a piece of cloth

that brings a nation to its knees.



What's that unfurling from a pole?

It's just a piece of cloth

that makes the guts of men grow bold.


What's that rising over a tent?

It's just a piece of cloth

that dares the coward to relent.


What's that flying across a field?

It's just a piece of cloth

that will outlive the blood you bleed.


How can I possess such a cloth?

Just ask for a flag my friend.

Then bind your conscience to the end.
