i took the flag down
and burned it
sat in the front yard
and watched until all was gone
the colors lost to black ash and smoke
the freedom i once stood for so steadfast
brought me here
empty
tired
scarred
don't want to die for another cause
mine i lost a long time ago
i merely kept on marching
hoping
that i would eventually be justified
but today i fell
the last casualty of my personal crusade
no more fighting against
what truly is
let truth be acknowledged
bow down
surrender to the one and only
let what is left of me burn away
until
there is nothing left but you
