The flag unfurls in all its glory,
Dancing on the free winds
Against a blue sky background.
People absentmindedly salute the flag
As if following a command like robots
Implanted by leaders of greed
Who crave power and position
Without knowledge of the atrocities committed.
They frame it on the land they live on,
Yet all I see are wounds and death,
Blood-soaked, lifeless bodies
Under the hoisted flagpole,
With the cloth waving in the sky
Soaked in crimson,
Which many choose to ignore."
