The Lonely Banner

What happened Here?
Here
on this hilltop
Why does the flag
stand
Alone?

Imagine a War
A thousand soldiers
locked
in
Battle
and the Victor
Spikes
a flag
in the Ground
around
his foes.

Imagine a Boat
A ship of starving sailors
run
aground
finding the sandy shore
beneath
their feet.
They kiss the Earth,
while The Captain climbs
and claims
The Hill

Imagine a Man
A solitary figure
Standing
Alone
beneath the Lonely Banner
Wondering
what
it Means.
