The Lord of the Flies is not the pig's head on the stick. The pig's head on the stick was an offering left in tribute to the Beast by Jack and his tribe. The "Beast" is a figment of the children's imaginations, which Jack, by the act of leaving an offering, has raised to the status of a primitive God. By this act alone they have invested their imagined Beast/God with increased power, power which must be appeased. The Lord of the Flies (Beelzebub) was one of the many names given to the Devil. The name is used in this context to illustrate the true nature of the "God" which Jack and his hunters are appeasing. The real beast is their own nature, the darkness in the hearts of men, the evil within. It is this inner evil which Simon has an imagined conversation with. Simon does not converse with a pig's head on a stick, dead pig's heads (or live ones for that matter) are incapable of holding conversations.
Jack declares that the pig's head will be a sacrifice to the Beast, so he impales it on a stick (sharpened at both ends). The head later becomes the Lord of the Flies.
