Conflict

the drums of conflict are pounding across the land
we are drawn to statues that were once ignored
could it be statues vs statutes?
history can be destroyed
where do we stop?
is it a larger plan for change?
will we be changed?
how can an idea be stopped?
mob rule only enrages 
it will not end?
on what side will i land?
destroy the past ,destroy the future 
if we do not remember,history will be repeated 
nothing is new under the sun
we must keep the past alive
a warning not to repeat
a lesson on what is our GOD given rights 
a more perfect union can not be recreated 
where do you stand?
