MY HEART BLEEDS- a poem

MY HEART BLEEDS




Happy flag day — they say
So I wonder what to be happy for
My heart bleeds when I hear people say — Happy flag day

So I wonder
I wonder how the flag that I celebrate represents me

My heart bleeds
My heart bleeds when I hear people say Matilda Newport and six other ladies designed the Liberian flag

My heart bleeds
Shouldn't it rather be Matilda Newport and six other ladies copied the American flag?
What is there to celebrate?
I wonder

Being proud and celebrating the Liberian flag is like being proud to wear  borrowed clothes
What a shame!

How does the flag we celebrate represents us as Liberian and as Africans
My heart bleeds

My heart bleeds when I see my country with out an identity
Why should we be proud of a flag and anthem that was copied
How do they represent our culture, history and values as a people?
My heart bleeds
