i gaze upon this flag of ours this white this blue this red
the galent and pure luminus white, so clear and sharp in starts and stripe
the rich deep ocean that holds the fifty shining beacons amonst it
the dark and regal red that flows between the purity and runs into the sea
that deep red, the color of blood, spilt on land and see that holds white to white and white to blue, keeping us together
that red that spills off the flag and flows over the ground from those in years gone by to those just yesterday
a red so brutal and so pure than it can never be washed clean or hiden
a red that comes from the veins of those who understood the meaning
understood the meaning of freedom, and the cost ... the red that spills and fills this nation and pays to keep things free
the red of blood, the blood spilt in war, the blood that binds our flag together and has kept our nation free
