SUNDAY VERSES: Confederate Sketches (3/22/2026)

By RAHN ADAMS

THREE REBEL monuments in N.C. & Virginia

Up on a pedestal, / blue sky at his back, / a rifle in his hand, / he’s a stone-cold rebel yell,

Silent for good reason / about what he has seen — / death and destruction, / loyalty and treason.

Over his frozen shoulder, / the god of lost causes / grins down on his creation, / making it even colder.
