4. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

http://ericblumrich.com/year.html 3 minute video

Legion

Enveloped in a sentiment,
a sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

5. The flags distract us, don't they?

Were there 6 undraped boxes in that photo, our brains would register an immense sense of a human being rendered lifeless, a man or a woman who should be standing and walking, talking and dreaming.

Instead, our brains must first register The Flag. The Star-spangled Banner. The Red White and Blue. The brave soldiers fighting for our freedom. The Flag covers the Human and he, the individual, is buried in symbolism.
