The Battle Is Not Done

The Battle Is Not Done 

 Overdue the removal of the battle flag of a ‘Lost Cause’     
To some museum, or other relegated place,     
It stands for slavery and a master race,
Lift high instead a just standard, fairer laws. 

Raise Old Glory, with thanksgiving, for a new day won,     
For bigotry unmasked, and in retreat,     
The hubris shown for its conceit,
Yet knowing that the battle joined is not done. 

—James A. Langley
