the shining flag

the shining flag

A Poem by Elena
"

blinding you with it's grandeur.

"

bow before me as i 

raise my shining flag 

and plant it through 

your trusting hearts.


don't worry, it's sterile;

ignorance washes away 

all sorts of sordid sins.


let it be the loving burden

on your turned backs;

faith means looking down

(upon everyone else).


besides, trying to see

would cause neck pain, 

and innocent white children to die -

you understand.


just know that it is waving

proudly in the breeze

that hints of good, clean bleach.


blood doesn't clean itself, you know?

but don't worry; 

your government will take care of it,

just like it takes care of you.
