The Flag
by Rachel Hoyt
The pattern - how it flies,
With every gust it tries,
To appeal to the skies
To billow its glory.
A symbol - red, white, blue -
That flutters inside you
To unify minds who
Write liberty's story.

Are you familiar with all the flags in US history?
Did you know that wearing the flag is still illegal, technically?
ah, yes. red for the blood shed fighting for liberty, white for the light in the future, blue for the expanse of sky above the free country and of course the stars for the states in the united states of america. well, it's a good idea but sometimes good ideas take a while to come to fruition. hope we get there soon before we ruin it.
