He said 'flag'

Flags are popular.  Flags have always been in vogue.  Every nation's Must Have.

The question is, what does your flag say about you?

Is your flag on the play?  Does it illuminate the rockets red glare?  Does it allow for careful treading or do you have to watch your step?

They say the colours of a flag never run, but I am fairly sure I saw a flag in pastels.  Do they also come in acid wash and button fly?

Is it a freak flag, and does it fly?  Was it stolen or is it firmly planted in blood stained soil. 

Did you have a say in its design or was it thrust at you from failing hands?

Does it fit you or do you fit it?

Flags are burning, salting the earth and leaving civilians for dead.

A flag can lead to pole sitting.  Many a man is remembered for being at half mast.

I know I wave my flag when my hands are not busy doing what is necessary.
