Johnny Rebel's Flag Flies High Across The South Carolina State Capitol Building Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Johnny Rebel's Flag Flies High Across the South Carolina State Capitol B
In Charleston there is a pall
over the city, state and nation cries
out in pain yet
Johnny Rebel's Flag Flies High Across the South Carolina State Capitol
A deranged gunmen ended nine people
all gathered in a church for Bible study yet
Johnny Rebel's Flag Flies High Across the South Carolina State Capitol
A few preachers, a state senator, a teachera nurse and a librarian to name a few again there was nine in total
cut down by a white racist, who will
not be named, attempted to start a race war
Johnny Rebel's Flag Flies High Across the South Carolina State Capitol

The rebel flag flies no longer
Spirit of South Carolina is stronger
The nine lives will ever be immortalized
True perseverance of righteous cannot be denied
The valor of the Confederacy should be retired to a museum
Where artifacts of years gone by for people can see them.
