damn your flag

names
hanging in nooses
and
faces
all shot to hell

damn your flag.
damn damn damn

There. You did it again - impart a world of meaning in a few lines. I don't know how you guys do it. Me, I'd probably rant on and on and.. on yet again about wars/ segregation/ discrimination/ black balling/ violence etc..
Good one yet again.

thanks!

ranting is what i'd usually do. through all the anger, though sometimes something seems to find me, and the right words come. i increasingly feel like a lightning rod, waiting for the next strike.

When I first read this, I thought I was just having a blonde moment. Second/third readings with all the comments for assistance, and I'm still making like Melody in Josie and the Pussycats :((

dunno what the others have read in this, but to me its just me spitting on the beliefs (religion, politics, race) that are killing people. quite literal, actually!
