That Bloody Flag

That Bloody Flag

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.That fugging flag.

"

Living's a prompt for great things

Potentially anyway

Objectively speaking

Anyways

What magnificent creatures abound

 

Dying's a solution for awful things

Sometimes

Desperately speaking

Of martyrs and madmen

And all their blind followers

Dying's forgetting awful things

 

Perhaps it was just your time

Unlucky like


However....


Some sacrifice was never meant for redemptions

Only the dead do not know of this

That the lotto just doesn't pay sometimes

That some memories are worthless

No matter their enrichments


Perceived


"Sacrificing" is a watchword of the tyrant

Or in deposition of one

Anyway, we all end up unlucky

"Nationalism" is still the watchword of a tyrant

 

Safety thru fighting

Dying for nothing

Living off battle

Bloody that flag

 

"Anyways" is the watchword of the socially healthy

Without that word, hell becomes the running memory

A living hell and endless

You cannot fight effectively without a long memory

You will not keep fighting without a short memory
