Tattered flag

( dishonor )

We try so very hard to believe
( for old times' sake )

But it is no good

////

WEEP THIS ABANDONED GENERATION !

•

Nation of shame !

••••

Softly

We hide

Softly

we deny
That we hear the crying children all around

///

BLASPHEMY !

•••

Soul sister

I need you now

••

Let us walk hand in hand

Thru these poor pornographic streets

Into the light of day !

The child awakens from the trance

//      ::      //

Chooses himself a new banner !

The people gather round !

////

The people gather

////

The sky cracks open

As we look up a face looks down
