A Thousand Black Flags Fly Over Our Farewell

A thousand black flags fly over ahead
Looking down,
Staring hard
As silence is dead.
We fought underneath, two of a kind
Yelling
And Crying,
Hate tainting our minds.

A thousand black flags fly over our farewell;
Waiting and hating
The life we've lived in hell.
They stare and they watch with utmost despise,
They stare and they watch us ruin our lives.

A thousand black flags; they wisper and speak;
The mock
And they pity
How utterly weak
We are when we fight, we quarrel and kill;
How weak we are
When we are standing still.

A thousand black flags fly over our farewell;
Waiting and hating
The life we've lived in hell.
They stare and they watch with utmost despise,
They stare and they watch us ruin our lives.

A thousand black flag fly under the sky;
Quietly
Thinking
As our emotions do fly.
They dance in the wind, so graceful it seems;
And as we punch
And we kick
The flags hear our screams.

A thousand black flags fly over our farewell;
Waiting and hating
The life we've lived in hell.
They stare and they watch with utmost despise,
They stare and they watch us ruin our lives.

A thousand black flags fly over the streets;
Sleeping
And dreaming
In their massive fleets.
We lay down below, silent as night;
As the moon shines down:
It calms our fight.

Nothing can change what we've said and we've done,
But people
Are people;
We can never be one.
We live and we fight through our everyday hell
As a thousand black flags
Fly over our farewell.

A poem dedicated to a friend of mine.

This was inspired by the hate and the fighting tearing this world apart. It's one of my more metaphorical poems, and there is many room for interpretation.

Enjoy!

"A thousand black flags fly over our farewell" conjures up one strong mental imagery~ :)

You especially do great poetry whenever using the very human themes.
