A Darkening Flag by Lee Garrett Saturday, August 31, 2002 Share Print Save Become a Fan A darkening flag upon the steps wounds the sky, with desecration. Our children honor the valiant dead with burning stripes and dying stars Some say it's time for a useless law, maybe an Amendmant enforcing civility. I cannot cheer conflicted interest Nor defend my heart from license. Ignite my dreams with your liberty. Make a pyre of my pride. This is being free.
