My Anti-slavery Views-Sorry to offend you VII

by alan-s-bailey

*I know there is a place in life For all things great and wise, But many people mistake certain Things that are not of that guise.* A practiced profession a vague recollection A violent war, a hit and miss game, People looking for others that they Have even hurt or ruined to blame, This is what has become and what became, We are the "example" of purity. Our hands soaked with blood, A hateful flag waved in your face, An obscene way to show "mature" grace, This is what made America great, To go forth, destroy, pillage, use plague, To steal from the tribes on all counts, Our excuse and our reasoning? Based on fear. Showing nothing but "needed" destruction And savagery, a form of selfish "non-villainy" Practice an "innocent" thing called slavery, Blame the blacks for selling them to our Dirty filthy tainted "pure" white hands. This is for what the southern flag really stands.
