~ Raising the Flag ~

the old man walks slowly
holding a battered flag
eyes full of sorrow
raising flag is what he do best

he wonders recently
strange as it seems
raising flag
almost everyday?

why?
he hadn't raise flag
as much as he did
these days

why?
should the battered flag
being raised more often
that it was previously

and the pole was bended
cause the flag
was always been raised
half way up
