Confederate Flag

Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Confederate Flag Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: July/2015 O'Dirty South,.....U'Dirty South your hatred, and storied history - is sadly legendary- Antebellum South, Your staunch racist beliefs was in place, long before the honourable General Robert E. Lee, raised the Confederate Flag, in the battle between the States - Since the Civil War, your, "Stars and Bars," has flown over the worst of times In America - As recent a time, in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, where seven black churches burned down to the ground - Nine worshiper's were killed in South Carolina, and the Confederate flag was flown - The White House, is looking into the "on-going," black church burning epidemic. Meanwhile, the deep, and deadly wounds of my people, stains the Confederate flag- My ancestors blood, is the RED that covers the dirty "Symbol Of Southern Pride." Yet, to this day, it still fly's over most State buildings, and in offices, in the Dirty South - It have flown: Over slaves on Southern plantations - It have flown: Over the lynching of blacks - It have flown: Over the burning of black body's; cremated in public squares - It have flown: In restaurants, rest rooms, and public water fountains- It was flown by an Ally of confederate's, who was willing to die in defence of Slavery's abolishment - When the South seceded from the Union, all HELL broke loose, and the Confederate Flag, was born - It was the Symbol of Treason - and A "Battle Flag" for Hate crimes against black people - That flag, still fly's high today; through the smoke, and ashes of black churches, burning down all over the South - past and present. Even now, The KKK, Ayran Faction, and skinheads, all raise the confederate flag, to honour White Power, and White Supremacy - America, its been one hundred, and fifty five years since the Civil War - it's way past time to put an end to bigotry and racism. Let your voice's be heard, the Confederate Flag, should never be raised again, not now, not ever -
