Happy Flag Day


On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up in the night like paper doves in flight
...
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there´s a Change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

~Pink Floyd (Great Day For Freedom)

"While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history"

sad, but all too true.
