Take It Down, Take It Down
I’m headed to C0lumbia, South Carolina,
hottest city on Earth
in the summer, to see what happens next.
Are the lawmakers
of the S.C. General Assembly
as ready as they claim,
to take down the flag,
and let a #newsouth sunrise begin?
It could be another carnival
of lost causes, if
among the chosen, the elected,
those supposed to lead us
to a brighter day,
thicker heads
and harder hearts prevail.
I’ll be in touch as the day goes on
and the week passes.
Keep all your fingers and toes crossed.
A #NewSouth Sunrise
depends upon the outcome happening
quickly.
Don’t let it drag on.
Take it down.
Take it down.
Let fly the future South.
Let a #NewSouth Sunrise begin.
