Cemetery Adversary

Here lies Abercrombie Wellington Jones
   Under the flowers are all of his bones

Young people like to deface his gravestone
   Due to all the slaves Jones used to own

This is a case of "gone but not forgotten". Nod to a repulsive time in history ~

Thanks for the visit and the comment, Line. Guess I hadn't realized that there's more than one way to be 'remembered.' Joy and Light, Gershon

If the shoe fits, wear it. You "nailed" it.

Another individual who won't be missed. Tom

He may not be missed by 'Progressives,' but perhaps his family and even some of his slaves miss him. Anyway, defacing someone's grave is hitting someone who can't defend himself. I don't think that's fair. Better to just to look and move on...
