A Flag Full of Pain
I once couldn't show the world how I felt
Beneath the old ragged cloth,
But now my feelings are solid and don't melt
Under the grazing blue sky and white clouds full of fluff.
This flag holds many treacherous memories
As this flag releases the pain of blacks,
It stands for the struggles of slavery;
And reaching out to free us from traps.
The wind was our enemy but now we are free,
Expressing our emotions through this strong flag.
Waving this flag of freedom,
We have conquered the tag.
