black flag

a flag is an exclamation,

a banner for a manifestation

under which we stand

to manifest

nihil imperat

but out of necessity

we adapt

like water

as set by nature

it runs

and we write

with water

died black

with the pigments

of ink

so that our words

would stay on paper

stating our story
(not his nor her)

sinking to the past,

slightly slower than castles in the sand,

but we are here by an equal right

to construct at will,

each our own,

human together

like our consciousness,

a collective

and it is as by heart

as it is rational

that we come to common cause

from nihil,

pudenda origo,

for those who thought that

going towards god is going as far from the world

and its organic body as possible

and into the abstract dream at the end of history,

well, our flag proclaims freedom from you,

and it is black, because you said white

is supreme.
