What’s that fluttering in a breeze?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that brings a nation to its knees.
  The structure is the same throughout. The gentle image of
   the flag ‘fluttering’ seems innocent and contrasts with the
 powerful metaphor at the and of each stanza. It moves from
 a gentle question to a literal answer followed by a powerful,
    often violent, metaphor. The juxtaposition of contrasting
images creates a range of images and emotion the reader is
    exposed to in a short stanza creates a conflict within the
                             structure.

What’s that fluttering in a breeze?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that brings a nation to its knees.

 The metaphor at the end of each line is often
ambiguous. Here, does the personification of a
‘nation to its knees’ suggest that the nation has
      fallen or that it is kneeling in prayer.

What’s that unfurling from a pole?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that makes the guts of men grow bold.

Again, gentle image followed by literal and then
                metaphorical.

                                         Page 24
What’s that rising over a tent?
It’s just a piece of cloth  Military tent?
that dares the coward to relent.

Again, the metaphor is ambiguous. How
  does a coward relent? Do they
  surrender or fight?

            Powerpoint Templates
                                        Page 25
What’s that flying across a field?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that will outlive the blood you bleed.

How can I possess such a cloth?
Just ask for a flag, my friend.
Then blind your conscience to the end.
