History

People are Trapped 
In History
and History is
Trapped in them

The Statutes
were removed
yet the symbol
of hate
still
soars in the 
hearts of 
our leaders

Those who
at one
time 
compared  to
exposing their
children to segregation
with throwing them
into a jungle

We cannot
erase history
or ignoring 
the  past
words of our
elected
simply because
we think they
serve the greater good

They don't
Their intent
is predatory
and 
we are
simply their pawns

There is
no good side
or bad side
in the political line

Just different 
wolves 
different sheep

In the end
both sides
have victims
