Should we?
Or shouldn't we?
Remove the confederate flag that holds pride for whites legacy.
Or so some say.

Ask a politician?
Especially a white male.
They show stupidity just within their answers.
Cause remember they kissing any_to get elected.

We should leave it to the people of that state.
****!, if that were the case we still have legally accepted segregation.
Not that it faded from those good old days in any way.

Southern pride, holds strength too many.
Besides it a losing symbol that's flying high.
A rebellious symbol of folks that lost to the Union soldiers.

It wasn't Grant that surrender.
It was Robert E. Lee that surrender.
Folks just tries to eradicate this from theirs memories.

Invokes hate, in some that see the confederate flag.
While others could care less.
But politicians always been weaklings when standing up to a cause.

Which isn't something to be so proud about.
When history has shown its links to roguish thugs.
Who so insecure that being linked to a hate group makes them someone?

Except this is America and we have constitutional rights.
To fly any flag we chose, even if some dislike it.
Which includes the confederate flag that holds apart of our history.
