Screech. Ropes attached to my back are pulled tight. Screech. Screech.Higher and Higher I am pulled. I know I'm a symbol. A symbol for hope. A symbol for love. A symbol for pride. I know all this. But still I droop. All that I stand for seems to disappear the higher I go. Tossed and torn by a vicious wind from the East, I stand strong. But each and every gust cuts me deeper and deeper. Battle wounds cover my spirit. I cry as long as this is war.

The Flag
Screech. Ropes attached to my back are pulled tight. Screech. Screech.Higher and Higher I am pulled. I know I'm a symbol. A symbol for hope. A symbol for love. A symbol for pride. I know all this. But still I droop. All that I stand for seems to disappear the higher I go. Tossed and torn by a vicious wind from the East, I stand strong. But each and every gust cuts me deeper and deeper. Battle wounds cover my spirit. I cry as long as this is war.
