Amnesia

Written by C Hues

You claim Confederate as your heritage
Yet you forgot they were a rebel nation
You’re for family values and parentage
Yet you forgot about your slaves—you raped them.

I know, it’s hard having amnesia
That’s why it’s easy to hate your kin
I know, it’s hard having amnesia
That’s why it’s easy to hate again

You say you love the Constitution
Forget the cops at the Capitol
Yet you’re expecting absolution?
Forget it—you lose Trump’s battle, though.

It must be nice having amnesia
That’s why you’re nice to your darker kin
It must be nice having amnesia
That must mean you can forget your sin.
