Tyrannis

So Cavalier in simpleness

You tried to rewrite history.

Baptized schools and monuments,

To soldiers without victory.

Never mind, who’s hands plowed your ground,

While you long for yesterday,

Stars and Bars for empty pride still flying,

The same flag as the KKK.

Tyrants all cowled beneath white lies.

Murderers memorialized.

All your world, was wrought in violence,

Traitors training fellow tyrants.

Water cannons stoked the fires,

Dogs and lynchings, glass and spit.

Tell me what you fly that flag for,

You two-faced, lying, patriot?

Your generals are dead and buried,

Lost to time- the cause they carried.

The statues that they never earned,

We’ll bulldoze as your flags are burned.
