The Confederate Flag: 'Southern Pride' or Racism?

Frozen

in front of the tube

I sat with my hands tied

I shivered and I cried

Powerless I watch with shame

the carnage in my name

Politicians oh so vile

tell us we're fighting for rights

and the media ever servile

report only sound bites

What sickens me most

the treachery and lies

the gloats and boasts

and all the wasted lives

Not a single government not a soul

to stand up for the people

In the dark of night

we destroy a land

we crush a people

In the dark of night

I cannot sleep

I only weep Anne B. Sereno '90
