I hang out a flag <br />for different reasons <br />not only for the dead <br />they're long gone <br />and couldn't care <br /> <br />for the memory, <br />of the blood they shed <br />to eulogize their deeds <br />I hang out a flag <br />for all to see <br /> <br />for the living <br />not for the dead, <br />it is the future I dread <br />that those who bled <br />not in vain, for something better <br />more humane<br /><br />shimon weinroth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hung-up-2/
