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
