Once upon a war
A Civil War
There were flags
Many flags

Before the before
There was
A Blue One
With One star

One with the Stars and Bars
The First National One
And then the rejected One,
That became the Naval One

That became General Lee’s square battle One
Mapped into an almost all
White surrendering One
The Second National One

Then with a red stripe on the end
The third and final One
Then came many lost battles
Then a lost War

Then the union, a reunification
