White Washing Tons of American History By George Part Ii
generally not worth a cent
citizen bankers, agitately hankering
with venomous, traitorous, riotous
antithetical highjacking governmental statutes
representing dangerous extent
particularly objection raised
to deter Uhauls to truck away
liberals deem as eyesores i.e.
particularly long in the tooth statues
whereat ultimate thuggery
violently take umbrage,
(whether on sunny or rainy day)
to topple Confederate statues
perhaps relics as admired by this cognescenti,
especially Civil War debacle pwould never post on E-Bay
boot treasure as keep sake
unbeknownst if same mindset
extant among proponents representing
(real or imagined) moral majority
upholding abominable
misdeed meaner fighters donned in Gray,
whose seccessionist symbols stood upon bloody turf
yet, I do not commiserate, concur, countenace
cockamamie with heretical axe to go hay
wire, and purge landscapes
of abonimable, despicable, galling
bronze soldiers (sitting proud
on his Anti Unionist steed), who stood opposed
to slavery, but ugly reality doth lay
within the body electric, fabric, kinetic...
and thy stance uphold reprehensible reminders
of implosion of United States government MAY
do justice to educate population – nay
sayers to tear down what exemplified
Antebellum and Postbellum south tis not okay
to wipe the abstract slate of American mosaic
clear of any offensive,
about one hundred and fifty plus years ago,
an August role such crafted artifacts did play.
