Fourth Parable
Imagination,
Willy Wonka
Some songs are extra-beautiful
Depending on who’s singing
Today The Star-Spangled Banner
Always sung in martial fashion
So it seems
I don’t suppose there’s another way
But maybe remember that
The fort and city were outgunned
It wasn’t really victory
But endurance and survival
The flag was flying in the morning
(big flag, if you haven’t seen)
The nation got another day
Sometimes, I guess,
It’s all we need
