A time of distress has come to the flag.
Now black boys your testing is here; /;
Great rumblings and carnage by land
and by sea,
Betoken the WarGod is here.
The flag has not always given to you
Your struggling lifes sorest need,
Protection from hatred, chance to
be men,
1t deserted, by word and by deed
But your slave fathers fought for the
flag and they died,
Gave life-blood right out of the heart.
No thought of self, or those by love
tied.
Too patriotic from the flag to depart.
Now God in His own time gives you
your chance,
Their bruised lives emulate.
No waverers now, nor towards be
Your manhood perpetuate.
