Monumental Perfection

Monumental Perfection

America is perfect!

No need for transformation.

Nothing to detect,

No need for past connection.

How did America become so pure?

How do citizens know it is true

That their perceived grandeur

Just is, and without hew?

A denial of specific history

Or of any history, is their first order,

Propagated by a political consistory

Of self-righteousness hoarders.

 Destruction is the name

Of the game some politicos play

To engender shame

On a certain heritage of today.

Their logic is skewed

When making that accusation.

Their argument appears shrewd

But is actually a history castration.

Without history,

Is there a basis for reform?

Without knowing life’s groaning story

Can a nation calm its storm?

There is no road to perfection

Without a life and its past.

History is the avenue for reflection,

Perfecting transformation en masse.
