Potomac

Topple the monuments of the founders for all of their shortcomings and sins rip their portraits of museum walls toss them into the Potomac River, Splatter paint over their granite heads erect monuments to your perfect selves for you're the self- anointed god for all ages. Kick old lady liberty in the teeth again demand things-dwell on only the negative If America is a broth of systemic racism I wonder why they risk their lives to get in to live their days in the shadows of white privilege? ..once they do get in they want to change the very things that brought them here in the first place
