I Can Remember

I can remember
all too well
the night the
flag went down

that flag with
colors spread
of blue and white
and bloody red

I can remember
crystal clear
the day our
flag went up

our flag of
green and white
and red
a yellow star

I can remember
all too well
this day that
went astray

this day that
turned in ashes
burned my hopes
my dreams away.
