Lost History
Now they are gone from history-
they were knocked down- sad mystery.
Those statues stood, to think upon;
From history, now they are gone.
In yesteryears, find right and wrong-
through them, we learn to get along.
The symbols of our hopes or fears
find right and wrong in yesteryears.
We fought that war to take a stand
against enslavement in our land.
With justice won, freedom did soar-
to take a stand, we fought that war.
We need to see both good and bad
in life that make us glad or sad.
Historic symbols guarantee
both good and bad we need to see.
