Confederate Monuments




If you are a statue with Confederate cachet
You will be torn down in haste and quickly thrown away.
Your dreams and social policy were bankrupt long ago,
And so off to the landfill your brass butt we now must tow.
It’s been a long time since you lost the War Between the States --
If it wasn’t for Abe Lincoln you would all have been inmates.
Let bygones now be bygones, and away resentment cast --

Our present troubles ought to make us overlook the past.
