Statues In The Park


If we can’t tell stories 

about our past

—the future stays untold

 

If judged by standards

out of time

—the fault beyond control

 

Our history always

both good and bad

—correction on the rise

 

What happened, happened,

as time rolls on

—and yesterday reminds

 

(Independence Square Philadelphia: March, 2021)
