Statues In the Sewers

Monumental statues so quickly torn down by radical, woke vision Truth, a ghost town Sewer workers' heroes too, have to go They carry out the 'Plans of the Man' Don't you know?... Located underground Can't tear those statues 'down' Will they be broken 'up?' ~ I hear a voice screaming 'Yup'

Hello Gershon ... next thing the do-gooders will work on is have history lessons banned in schools. Don't be surprised - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

It seems everyone wants to wipe out the past, we cant change the past, we have to accept it and move on. Tom

Exactly,... but if there's no record of the past, eventually it will disappear. 1984 rears its ugly head... :) gw

Sad to see American history going down the toilet, Will be replaced with Marx, Lenin, Stalin. Next..burning the Constitution.Bibles are burning now. So much like Nazi Germany. Pangie xx

It is, indeed, a tragicomedy, in the formerly United States of America. Th e spoiled-rotten man-child burns Bibles, spews Marxist vomit--- and then demands safe spaces. He firebombs government buildings and then demands that we defund the police. Playing out his fantasies in the Theatre of the Absurd. The SDS on Hopium is what I see. The bast-turds!... ~ Bring back Giulani! Give him free reign to quell the insurgency. That's what I'd do, anyway... Oh, well. ~ A Dreamer
