це не просто синій і золотий прапор, чи не так

Neville

це не просто синій і золотий прапор, чи не так

 

no formal mast required

but rooftops, doors and windows

shall suffice

and though

both mountains and monuments

may not yet be high enough ..

in a world

on its knees, bruised, bleeding

and bowed ..

through smoke, dust and tears,

in the foreground

and upon the downcast eyes

of massed crowds ..

a distinctly blue and gold flag

lifted skywards ..

tho shaken, is still waving and proud ..

 

Its Not Just a Blue & Gold Flag Now Is It ..

        Like the rest of Europe, we're still buy gas from Putin, and probably will afterwards. Sanctions aren't working against Putin, cos he's loaded, so it's now left to the inner lobby to bump him off.

            Russia was coming good and they loved the west after perestoika but putin has reversed all that with deciet, lies and brute force. Now the lies are used to reinforce his evil intent in Ukraine and more. I live in hope that he will be stopped from within... he must live in fear of that.

              Very emotive write
              Giving to words to patriotism in heart
              That is the flag that shall rise
              When a soldier wears love for her nation
              Each drip of blood shall flow for her nation
              For that the flag to furl
              Furl with freedom in the air

              Sincere words dipped with patriotism
              Good one dear Neville
