The American stars rise from Apollos’ head like sparks of thought. The stripes billow like wings with a life of their own. This piece is an homage to the folk singer voice, those poets whose songs give purpose to the American dream. Their lyrics are bold and unhindered. From old souls, their songs are born in truth. They remind us that this land is our land, that there is injustice that needs to be solved and there are hard questions that need answering. What song is being sung over the land?
