DOES GOD WEAR BOXERS OR BRIEFS?
A TRANSCRYPTIC MEDLEY FROM THE REFERENDUM
ON THE MISSISSIPPI STATE FLAG
BY MICHAEL FROST
*
I tried writing an essay about this, but couldn’t write anything that wasn’t overwhelmed by the actual words spoken (and the reactions of the crowd). Thus, I left it as a sort of free verse. I wish I could take credit for the last comment, but I can't.

*

I heard cries 

Sounds like hatred

(Preach on!)

Like the HATRED that crucified JESUS.

The same people who went into the tabernacle to CRUCIFY him.

We better get our minds on SALVATION

We are the MINORITY of America

We been

WHUPPED down

ROLLED down.

GOD is getting ready to get something else to pass.

America is in SERIOUS TROUBLE with God.

(BYE-BYE!)

*

You’d better pray that the wrath of man does not produce the wrath of God.

STOP IT! Stop this stuff! Get the government OUT OF OUR HAIR!

Oh, yeah, I smoke but I don’t inhale…

STOP our ungodly government. Break our chains! Bring in a godly constitutional government.

We’re in trouble if this keeps up. I’M SERIOUS!

As the Bible said, you’re going to be cast out like a bad branch.

Government can’t rewrite the Bible. First they took over the schools. Then they’re going to take over the churches. They’re going to try to rewrite the Bible.

I pray.

Let’s all pray.

Heavenly father, give us strength….

That’s all I’ve got to say.

*

It ain’t about black and white. There were Black Confederate soldiers. It’s a good Christian symbol. I’d rather stand by it than bow down to government…

*

My kinfolks came over as indentured servants. What’s an indentured servant?

(A SLAVE!)

That’s right. So don’t talk to me about being in slavery.

*

Many died under it.

And many would be willing to die under it again.

Tonight it’s the state flag. What’s next… the American flag?

I can see the cross over there. Are they going to tear the cross down too?

*

Tell ‘em where they’re from

All you who want to change it.

(clap clap clap)

All you who want to leave it the way it is.

(HOO! HOO!  YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!)

I got nothin’ more to say.

*

My nephew, Trent Lott, is in the U.S. Senate.

Leave the flag the way it is.

*

This ain’t about racism.

This ain’t gonna get rid of hate.

(Still gonna be hate!)

Heck, at Ole Miss they got ridda the flag just to get some more football players… and basketball players…

What’s next? Are they gonna ban cotton?

(Ban underwear!)
