Charlottesville

Robert e Lee was a treasonous ole soul To defeat the republic his goal Slavery was abolished the people were free But only two third a southern decree The republic with stood the brutal onslaught Capturing the rebels stopping the plot 50yrs after the civil war They put up a monument to lee's slavery once more In two thousand and seventeen They thought it was time the south came clean Remove ole Lee off his high horse But the white supremest and KKK had no remorse They march on Charlottesville with torches a blaze Singing Nazi slogans eyes filled with craze Their hate of black and Jews they proclaimed Three dead and trump said no one to blame All people just want to live free But hate filled hearts and ignorant animosity Another day in racist America rose in Charlottesville White Sheets and a rope looking for brother to kill

yes, i saw that on the news too; sad, sad, sad; well written, gave me images of the violence that transpired. such is human life - wasted on bigotry and racism - i feel disappointed and hope the wounds can heal. God bless!
