The Confederate States of America Speak

THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA SPEAK
(IN REMEMBRANCE OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIER ALBERT PORTER)

They were brainwashed by the White man.
Persuaded that slavery had ended.
However, still oppressed for twenty-some more years and when true freedom was known, therein, manifested racism.

Now, they shout the Confederate Flag yet hangs.
It needs to be brought down.
Forget the bloodshed of the Southern White man because the Union represents autonomy to all citizens.

In video-media clips, they live.
Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina in the sixties.
In the North, everything is calm, except the riot that took place in Detroit, Michigan.
The Civil War did what for whom?
It was the White man’s blood pool.

To put the White man in colored lives that way…
To dictate what I say and not what I do…
Makes the averred fraught today's damned fools.

Now, they shout bring the Confederate Flag down from that pole.
Union White won the Civil War.
The Confederacy is forever gone.
Archive that got damned symbol.

We are the Confederate States of America.
That which demarcates the freedoms known.
We lost no more lives than the Union Army.
We receded because we were killing our own.
The Union would kill until this great nation was destroyed.
So we ask: "Why are you troubled by our flag?"
The historical era is represented equally.
The Confederate flag drapes from that extremity because we are a people that posited an economy of free will.
