Flags are fun and great for games
But the earth beneath our feet is all we have.
If the all this tumultuous connection has shown us something
Then that humans are very much alike:
We need food and family, community and water to thrive.
We need joy and laughter and those who hold us in our sorrow to survive.
We are inquisitive
We are curious
We are tenacious
And sometimes wild
Dangerous when stupid
Sublime when inspired
And our kindness is near-divine
We are so ridiculously alike
It’s upsetting
Each you a me
Each me a you
Yes, and the idiots, too
Unfortunately
From the least of these
To our greatmothers and forefathers
All so unhappily one
We are far too much the same
No matter how hard we try
To believe otherwise
And so yes
Flags are great and fun for games
But the ground beneath our feet is all we have.
