We Too Hold Truth

A dancer I know made a flag 

 For me

 It contains my favorite colors and

 Holds the spirit of a sloth

Deliberate and lazy

Slow but sure

Hanging upside down

And clear about the difference between

Sky and ground

My flag for my revolution

No nationalistic colors with stripes

Bars animals symbols or heroic images

Represents me - never has

I needed my own flag

As soon as I saw it

Now I know my own flag is hope

I fall in love with beauty

But my country is an ugly place

With ugly history it denies

Amnesia stands between America and beauty

The “we” in “we hold these truths”

Didn’t count me

And likely didn’t include you

Rally round

I got a flag

We can do this

Better yet

Bring a flag
