The Flag  I raised a flag today A flag with fifty stars I raised a flag today A flag with thirteen bars. I raised a flag today To honor those who died I raised a flag today And then I stood and cried. I wept and cursed and prayed And had to wonder "why?" Angst and anger welled inside me And then I saw it fly. The flag snapped briskly in the wind It unfurled in the sky Its glory rose above my fears Its freedom was not denied. The symbol of our country The banner of our pride The flag of these United States Flew boldly at my side. I raised a flag today But the flag, it lifted me. I raised a flag today For all the world to see. I raised a flag today And upon seeing it, I knew: Above the dusty, ashen gray would rise The red, the white, and the blue.
