ALEXANDER BEAUFORT MEEK (1814-1865) of Alabama. Meek was one of the most prominent citizens of antebellum Alabama–judge, orator, international chess master, and historian of the early days of his State. He also published two volumes of verse. Selections are from The Songs and Poems of the South (1857).
COME TO THE SOUTH
Oh, come to the South, sweet, beautiful one,
‘Tis the clime of the heart, ‘tis the shrine of the sun;
Where the sky ever shines with a passionate glow,
And flowers spread their treasures of crimson and snow;
Where the breeze, o’er bright waters, wafts incense along,
And gay birds are glancing in beauty and song;
Where summer smiles ever o’er mountain and plain,
And the best gifts of Eden, unshadowed, remain.

This is not a poem but it is about more destruction of the South.
ReplyDeleteNASCAR use to be patriotic attendees, manly, womanly, White, and
pro Southern. Where is the resistance.
“NASCAR, the nation’s premiere stock car competition organization featuring the biggest names in auto racing, announced Wednesday that it has partnered with an LGBTQ+ organization to ‘promote diversity, equity, and inclusion training.'”
Who at NASCAR wants to fraternize with the likes.
Indeed.
