FLEETING THOUGHTS

Dear Japanese Flags🇯🇵

This is a tribute to all japanese flags
round the world 🌍.
Young🧑 or old 🧓
Old timers or newly hatched fledglings 👶.

I hope you all know our leader and
master.
The circus master .
He demands our respect and reverence.
His words mustn't be flaunted nor refuted.

We are his darling children and the apple 🍎 of his eyes 👀.
If we were once controlled he'll turn us into hippos🦛
And if we are already hippos 🦛, he'll make us anemic.

We are like monkeys 🐵 in his hands .
With adept skill , he controls us .
Moving us from pillar to pillar , post to post.
He makes us roll and tumble .
Juggling us deftly.
Years of skill,habitually put into use.

If our emotions explode, he'll move swiftly, punishing us , making us be all over the place.
He'll either mar our beauty or enhance it.
Making us love our haters and love our enemies.

I rue the day you came to my life .
I remembered when I saw him, I felt pride and most of all, Blessed.

I hate😒 you but I still need you .
I don't want your blessings cause I jus want to live a peaceful life.

My wardrobe has been exhausted by your incessant demands.
Your constant scoldings and chastisement, both I and my apparels👗 face😔.

I wish for the day
I'll become a free bird🐦, truly free from your shackles.

Dear circus master, you're a rose 🌹
one with thorns.
Constantly hurting me.

Sometimes I wonder if you've turned me into a masochist with your tricks.
I love and hate the pain at the same time.
The pleasure and pain brings me infinite joy knowing that I did not commit the Taboo.

To the newly admitted fledglings my only advice to you is...
"Beware of the circus master."
