Unknown Confederate Soldier
His body has laid here for decades,
his sacrifice not remembered
what he died for not celebrated,
The President will never lay a wreath at his grave.
His name will never be written on a monument,
History has forgotten his life and death.
He fought for freedom, same as our men do today.
His plight covered by racism,
yet no one knows if he believed in slavery,
or if he fought for Dixie just because
Dixie is his home, Where he was born and raised.
His life long forgotten, No one weeps at his grave,
No one honors his bravery on memorial day.
His reasons lay with his bones in
an un marked grave.
His blood still deep in Dixie,
Her colors won't fade no matter the decades of slander to her name.
His family never to have gotten the peace of knowing where he lay,
History erasing his mere existence from her pages.
His body lay in Dixie soil,
he lay his life down for her freedom, her traditions, her rich heritage.
His marker nothing special, a stone slab crude and jagged,
a tiny Rebel flag mark his alliance.
Still no one weeps for him. Win or loose his life stood for something.
America doesn't see that if he hadn't lost
some wouldn't have had their freedoms,
this great land would be divided, torn
apart. History erased the true
story of this bloody war but she can't erase
this Unknown confederate soldiers
Grave......
