Unburied [POETRY]

The heroes of the South will not stay buried
under the tons of bogus verbiage
that liars generate. Though zeal be married
to falsehood, the contemporary stage
will not endure forever — and the rage
of idiots will not shake down the sky.
This age, dear friends, is not the final age.
The future will unbody every lie.
At any rate, my truthful hopes are high.
Stonewall and Old Marse Robert, Forrest too
and Stuart, will in history’s keen eye
endure, and their admirers will renew
the honor that was given in the past.
Such glory, I maintain, is bound to last.
