Statues, Not You Choose

HISTORY CHANGING IN THE MAKING A very touchy subject now Who is behind this movement? The hate they build inside themselves say history should be changed They'll tear this country all apart till history's rearranged Hide the truth from everyone The good, the bad whatever Tell your children anything What's in the books? (was never) Somewhere down a highway a billboard spewing hate Denouncing those once honorable and telling of their fate Within a decade (maybe two) things won't be the same Pictures of a President you will not learn the name Statues? Maybe Marxis ones considered good, not bad Will surely rise throughout the land no arguments? How sad Pete Yuhas

Truth in this! We need to study history...see the good and bad in ALL our honored ones. To study. For we ourselves are also imperfect. Those who would say judge not are doing an awful lot of judging. Now those intent on evil - catastrophic - such as hitler - never deserve but we need to remember so we do not repeat.
