burn your flag your nation state

all that you uphold, protect

torch the pledge that ties you to

the obsolete, the out of tune

is it you? that scar called creed

or an indoctrinated need?

to feel united when apart

by race ,language, creed or god

the joy, the rapture, so trivial, so arbitrary

caged behind borders

to some it seems that means they're free

no predrawn compulsions

choose your side from what you see

your allies those whom you believe in

eyes and mind torn open

a bonfire of flags results in unity

the colours lost the bridges burnt

our choices freed

questioning the nation-dream they've sold to us

divided, conquered, held apart
