Excerpt from The Chicago Riot: A Record of the Terrible Scenes of May 4, 1886 The Red Flag. What nation and what government - This crimson tatter all besprent With human skulls, and flame and gore, Circling and flaunting evermore - What people does it represent? Emblem of treason and of hate, Red banner of an outlawed state, Each fold a lighted torch conceals, Each wave a glittering pike reveals, Each with its lurking, coward mate. Baptized in riot, blood, and fire, A faggot saved for freedom's pyre; Companion of the garb of shame, Without a home, without a name - Base bastard of an unknown sire! What deed of valor has it wrought? What hero hosts have cheered and fought, Keeping it ever in their sight, And died for principle and right And blessed liberty, blood-bought? No emblem can inspire so well A sortie of the hosts of hell! Where malice lurks and treason plots And foreign lepers bare their spots - There floats this ghastly sentinel. Haul down the flaunting alien rag - Foul insult to our starry flag! When they go waving side by side Where is the freeman's vaunted pride? Haul down the red, spew out the gag! - F.O. Bennett.
