Pete Yuhas Poet Rhyme

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

Kim Rodrigues October 11, 2017 at 10:14 AM 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.
