Let Vindice Be Aided by Me - Part I – Commentary by Joan Hough, 4/28/10
This series of verse is dedicated to the men most responsible for giving me the opportunity to learn the truth about my South.
Editor's Note: Part II and Part III will follow in the next two days.
My grateful thanks go to the writers associated with the Georgia Heritage Council: Steve Scroggins, researcher and writer, extraordinaire; Frank
Conner, amazing researcher and author whose book serves as my Confederate-American Encyclopedia; Bill Vallante, super myth buster and dedicated truth seeker;
and to Al Benson and Walter D. Kennedy whose wonderful book put many pieces of the big puzzle together for me, while making my hair stand on end.
I dedicate this series, most especially, to J.A. Davis, the brilliant leader of the Georgia Heritage Council gang, a gifted author, whose recent work entitled
"The Pendulum Swings, Deo Vindice" was the inspiration
for all that follows here.
Let Vindice Be Aided by Me - PART I
By Joan Hough
Heavy, heavy is my heart,
Tears course down,
down this Southern face,
Yes, I weep because I know.
Oh, God, do I know!
Oh anguish! I know the truth,
It strikes me with its too sharp point,
Strikes deep in the heart of me.
It tears my soul, it clouds my reason,
Lying enemies accused my kin of treason.
That enemy of my kin is mine
Always and forever—
As the cross is my sign.
How long must what was remain an is?
How can what was and still is hurt so much?
I hear a long dead whisper,
Feel a long dead touch—
Hear a long dead plea,
Is this too much?
Seek vengeance, seek it for me.
At least, make liars forsake the lie
And with truth, testify.
But how can I obtain what truth needs
when none with U. S. power heeds?
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,
Deo Vindice, Deo Vindice
But I must add,
Let Vindice be aided by me.
