What Remains?

country as flag
Gun smoke,
... and fire smoke,
... and the faces of my Brothers
who remain.

Tears beneath a dream of freedom
... and all human races
sitting beside the fire
that we built ... for them!

... built from a common war and a common remembrance.

Built
... in the name of Freedom for all!

Liberty... still Liberty!

And now I see
that age
is restless for their freedom.

... that age
is ageless,
... and always
awaiting the very brave.

Age is the eternity
of all of humanity...
... a flag of many colors
... waving... for liberty
... and all of the faces
of human races!

Welcoming all the colors of the human heart
Black... yellow... red... and white!

So!
... be silent now!
Hush!

Liberty has come home.
