Slavery was never 'right.' Neither was or is wanton destruction of public property...
A punch to America's gut An utter shock to me They've toppled the statue Of Francis Scott Key He wrote the National Anthem America's most famous song Why on earth such destruction What did Key do wrong They say he owned slaves When it was legal to do so Some topplers' ancestors may have too Perhaps they're the true foe... People who live in glass houses Shouldn't throw stones Two wrongs don't make a right As history has shown It didn't make any headlines Not even a 'Golly Gee' When they desecrated the memory Of Francis Scott Key
