Since moving to this town
Quite a few things have made multiple appearances
before my eyes
Small, innocent things
Like the neighborhood park,
or pool,
The plants from the green belt,
Boxes to be unpacked,
Things around my own home.
There is, however, one thing
That I have seen multiple times
Since moving here
One month ago.
I've seen a confederate flag
Waving or in sticker form,
making me curious-
why?
why was it printed,
purchased
before my eyes in the town
Claimed to be better than the city
that I just left.
Personally, I got sick at the sight of this
Every single time I saw this flag
Due to its background.
I still get sick
Every night
Thinking of this,
And the other things I've seen and heard
Since moving here
Only a month before.
