Maryland, My Maryland? Yeah, right...

The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland! [My Maryland!]
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland! [My Maryland!]
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
This is the first stanza of a poem written by James Ryder Randall that later became Maryland's official state song. How ironic that a song that once called for the South to fight the Union's tyrants now belongs to the least free state in our corrupt union.
(We'll leave aside for now the additional irony that Maryland's official state moniker is, laughably, the Free State).
If Mr. Randall were alive today, he likely would be despondent to know that the despots now reside in Annapolis.
