Buried in state flags
        South of the Dixie line
        Flying on Capitol Grounds
        South of North Carolina
        Hanging high
        A recolored One
        In an Art Space
        South of Houston
        For a Remembering of Cries of Color
        And a Flag of Treason and Terror

        And before this flag
        There were many
        Lost in a Committee
        Lost on the road to defeat
        Lost in the imagination of southern swamps
        Of flat Stars,
        Of black Blues,
        Bloody Reds
        And washed out Whites
        For a Remembering of Cries of Color
        And a Flag of Treason and Terror


        And before this flag
        There were many
        Lost in a Committee
        Lost on the road to defeat
        Lost in the imagination of southern swamps
        Of flat Stars,
                                                                                              African American Confederate flag
        Of black Blues,
        Bloody Reds
        And washed out Whites
