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.
