The Flag, What Is That? Poem by Hebert Logerie

The flag is an ensemble of colors,
Which represents a people, a country, a nation.
The flag represents freedom, evolution
Emergence, Revolution, Pride, and Happiness
From a people ready to fight for human values,
Ready to die to lead a simple, clean and healthy life.

What is the flag for you? Think and imagine.
Tell me. What is the emblem of your dear flag?
What is your flag? Is it the color of your skin?
Is that the accent of your tongue? Does that make you shudder?
The flag, what images are flickering in your mind?
Does your flag represent justice, joy or freedom?
