The central thing the protesters missed:
having the cops on their TikTok friends list.
They would find it less stressful, more fun,
to be on the side with badges and guns.
Their shortsightedness could prove a flaw

No. CXXXIII.i: EXTRA! Nonsense On Pedestals
To “celebrate history” it would be absurd
to put up a statue of King George the Third.
One simple fact, there is no debate here:
Confederate statues celebrate traitors.
Yes, it's our history, but come on now, Donald.
Do you see statues of Benedict Arnold?
(Never examined in these discourses:
why Southerners worship dead losers on horses.)
And, however hard you may sleuth,
even Dixie lacks statues of John Wilkes Booth.
