Offsite Post: ‘Fighting to Remember’ + One Other Poem

 

For four grim years General Lee

And his boys in grey fought heroically

Against a ruthless foe in defense

Of the Southern land.  Many, going thence,

Died a grievous death, bodies torn by cannon shell

And musket ball, writhing in blood and spittle.

Many, also, those who survived such an encounter,

At the cost of a limb, an arm hack-sawed at the shoulder.

Knowing hunger, knowing thirst, knowing dreadful cold and heat;

Hard ground for a bed, marching often with bare feet.

For such acts of self-sacrifice, their memory

Should be forever praised by their progeny.

But across the South, corruption has set in,

 . . .

Friend of the South Mr Thomas Riley has written a poem that Southrons should likewise consider reading:

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
