July dribbles - 7

And is the flag still flying there that fluttered high that night?
And do the ghosts still gaze with pride from heaven?
And are we worth the price they paid who claimed this land, this right
When we deny their neighbors’ plight
Born of rebellion, claim law’s on our side?

I believe the flag still flies and the ghosts surely gaze from heaven; I believe also that they drop a tear or two.

Sheila, your words are deep; let us hope that one day we each do something to prove ourselves worthy of the price others paid for us.
