The Confederate Flag Poem by Randy McClave

I will never fly the Confederate flag
To me it is just a worthless, decorated, filthy rag,
Created for slavery and tyranny and greed
Boasting, I am the owner and master, the slaver’s creed.
It is a flag that only stands for sedition and bondage
How could anyone show a pride or give it homage,
True to that fact and a oppressors immoral reason
That flag is also known for servitude and treason;
It wasn't created out of culture and pride
But, instead for the color of the white man’s hide,
When I see that flag flying I see bigotry and hate
The true symbol is a terrorists trait.
Whenever that flag is flown or ever displayed
Hate, racism and vengeance it will persuade,
There is no honor when that flag is flown
Now listen carefully! Cant you hear the true patriots moan?
There is only one banner that I will ever fly
It is the one for which only patriots fought for and did die,
As I listen to freedom from the rolling of a military drum
Only one flag stands and flies for liberty and freedom.
I love my country with all of my heart and desire
That is why I believe the Confederate flag should be set on fire
A country supposedly stands for all people, the brave and the true
My heritage is Old Glory; The Red, White and Blue.
