Flags

simply a poem about flags

wrapped in a cloth on the day your're born,

the same old colours everyone has worn,

try to determine who you love, try to determine who you are

try to justify the hate, try to justify the war,

for a flag colours your mind

more than just black and white

but the borders for our kind

Very true words, boldly said. Not many writers would challenge such a concept that is so deeply embedded in our psyche, showing the negatives of such things.

Well presented.

There's no avoding them. They are evocative, provocative, inclusive, exclusive, rallying and divisive - such enigmatic pieces of cloth.
One thing's for certain - as an author once said, "You can't eat them for breakfast."
nice work Justus
