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...

Musings About the Confederate Flag

By Elton Camp

When the Confederate flag Joe saw
He gazed at it, apparently in awe

What is going through his mind
Is he honoring the days behind?

Or the future is he facing
Not a sordid past embracing?

What he’s thinking, none can know
His facial expression doesn’t...

Hauteur brigand bound for gratuitous strand
Knows not he is country's chattel, enemy's contraband
As gallant marauders o'er ages spanned
His quest for glory fate will countermand
Gleeful lad starting out on quick, definitive errand
Becoming grizzled veteran in war that will opportunistically expand
Raw recruit ready to fight for: family,...

The Unknown Confederate

We’ll never know his name
He was born an American
A son of the US
A son of the South
Politicians decided his fate
Drew a line between the states
He fought for the side he was given
We do not know how he died
And that really doesn’t matter
We know...

Ambiguity within mine
doodling Yankee mind that
arises, asper current
hoopla harrumphing
American Civil War statues,
which verbal/written spat

particularly regarding southern generals
(many atop horses) arouses
call to arms whereat,
excited curiosity possibly twill incite
dangerous extraneous, mutinous,
treasonous tit for tat

promulgation exhuming ghosts
abolitionists of Dead Poets Society
screeching like a wildcat
signaling resumption, sans
war between the...

The Confederate Boy

He never did anything to you
You don’t even know his name
Nor do you care to
He never owned a slave
All he did was fight for his country
He was just thirteen when they took him
Barely old enough to shave
But he fought, and he most likely...

Until Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd's tragic deaths
Bubba Wallace was just a black NASCAR race-car driver

But watching their gruesome videos ignited a spark in him
  ~ Now Bubba's the driver of NASCAR's race change car...

Many white Americans still struggle with the issue of racism in the 21st century.This started with the Confederate monuments. The Confederate monuments do not have the same meaning to black Americans. While white americans view these works as a part of history, a past that...

Driving from Florida to Atlanta,
snapped an image with my phone.
Crossing the Georgia state line,
I saw the rebel flag flying alone.

Had seen this flag before.
Used to fly with two others.
Georgia and Tennessee,
were its pole flying brothers.

Don't see these flags much longer.
Some people yelling loudly.
We should no...
