UnCivil War Part II (Upside Down Flag): Burn This Shit to the Ground

2 min readJun 24, 2022

Roe v. Wade overturned

The U.S. flag

Overburned

Checking for contents of the uterus

Self-assured hubris

Right to vote for women next?

Keep sending mindless text

Entertain yourself to death

Suffocate with your last breath

Emboldened trigger

Proud Boys

Feeling proud enough

To call us Nigger

Go figure

Next

They load assault rifles

Pull trigger

Conservation

Preservation of a nation

Built by minorities

Sure did

More of my ancestors died

Then your’s did

So, fuck the flag

In a country-wide puddle of gasoline

Drag the flag

Freedom of expression, right?

I know this makes nationalists

Uptight

Metal bat to your back

Stand upright

Oblivious to plight

Birth of a nation

Female designation

Reverting back to past relation

Disrespect to the double ‘X’

Chromosome

Female or minority

Think twice

About leaving home alone

Maybe it’s time to leave this

Home alone

Racist and bigot prone

Not satisfied with just removing rights

They pick at the bone

How come this Christian nation

Must never atone?

For the sins

Of their forefathers

Shoot up Father’s day 1776

Kill all forefathers

1788 was the date

Get it straight

Constitution ratified

Reverting to the Civil Rights Era

Satisfied?

Hunger for more prejudice

Gratified

Highlighting

A grotesque reality

Where to be yourself in this country

Unless of a particular ‘ilk’

Happens to be

Tragedy
