    Flagship Blues

    they were walking in their footsteps
    to fields of city sidewalks
    i was in the back seat
    they never looked away

    i saw the golden statue standing
    there opon the billboard
    the wind whipped
    the flag like a bullwhip from the sky

    but as a child, you often wonder
    of things that don't matter
    but carelessness and angar we often carry on.

    so i began my journey
    threw mirrored halls and doorsteps
    watched sunsets in the evening and darkness in the dawn

    but i always seem to worry
    i can't help but be discouraged
    but often i'm in that back seat and i can't help but to look away

    but there is apart of everyone that no one will ever know
    our veins will hold our secret
    that flow within our blood

    what if we were to wonder
    threw fields of thoughtless torture
    would our mind be set free again and cared for by a king

    now i no i'm just a dreamer
    and probabley will always be
    but someday i may get stronger and be careful of what i see

    what I take from this poem is innocence is bliss. That as a child we are not always aware of the things that happen around us, such as war or death. That we are caught up in in a dream world that maybe someday as we grow we will be able to see more clearly. I think going through life with this innocence would be a gift but also unrealistic.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
