Stars and Stripes

Pinned to a cross, there stood the flag
of stars and stripes.
Waving down,
among the fallen leaves.
There it was, waving,
trying to plead.
Pinned to a cross,
to remind her of her old.
A Scarlett Letter perhaps?
Maybe she had been a whore?
Pinned to a cross,
to remind her of her sins.
Pinned, slaved to the order
of the “dominant” faith.
Pinned, maybe,
trying to get out.
