Americas Unfinished Business

The woke demand that we devenerate, revise old statues, plaques and history of leaders who were once considered great, as truth confronts a lasting bigotry. To laud and honor what they represent supports and propagates a curse and weight, creating new and growing discontent, to abrogate old hails to racial hate. Blind scales of justice failed to understand and measure damage done by prejudice across our bountiful dynamic land, thus adding space to this profane abyss. But now new rays of liberty are seen, illuminating every sacred wound, as politicians face what should have been and steer us toward a higher, firmer ground.
