Flags

 



Flags


Borders

Imaginary stripes on the planet's skin

The birds fly over them

Banners are their songs in the wind


It's so easy to botch this almost vice

The Craft of Li Bai Homer and Virgil

To call Martin Wylde Carter Always Bright Neighbor Beacon

To Try to do something nice with letters and signs


But my brother doesn't want me to get into any more trouble.

So this text is secret and only for our friends

In it I do not say that our enemies are the same

Death ignorance loneliness injustice pain hunger and cold


I will never mention the foreman's whip or the general's loot

For nothing in the world am I going to say that to the generous earth

Some bandits are going to continue looting it

To fatten their secret accounts in some tax haven


I'm not even going to mention the lackey's grandson

Who despises the maroon nigger and the uncivilized Indian

Not even the mining corporation that also does the job of lumberjack.

Much less the diplomatic judge before the king's court


And only in passing will I mention the larval axolotl countries

Exporters of gold, oil and bananas

And their little kings and corsairs stoned of jungle and ocean

El Dorado seekers allergic to study and work


I can only hope that we are really ready now

So that the flags of freedom gallop again

Thousands of miles of green grassland

And our horses will drink in a thousand rivers
