Rewriting our history seems to be hurting others and pleasing another.
We see folks aching to tear down confederates statues.
As if that part of our passed never existed.

We must face facts.
The rebel flags holds honor for some.
While pain for another.

Some on the grey side lost fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers.

But it's apart of America's past.
And our future too.
It might be compared to false sayers saying ******'s crew never tried to eradicate the Jews under his rule.

Both flags of hatred carry baggage that's truth.
But always remember the flag that holds ranks among them both.

It's the one with red, white and blue and the stars.
Yes, the one we show honor when we place our hand on the left side of our heart.

The Rebel flag passed traces back to  a vicious time.
But to remove that legacy only shows we trying to rewrite their truth too.

We must recognized truth of stupidity.
When many refuses to apologize.
