WHEN THE STATUES CAME DOWN
When the statues came down
the volume of wood showed
that the real ones couldn’t stay on the fire
they had built for their heroes
like Churchill and Rhodes
they could only see that all the people
couldn’t know that it was about the rides
of night
and the storms of freedom
which began with the rider
named Mandela and his crowd
of rough riders
for the world is not about
the coming of Christ
it is about the workings of man
known as the beginning of the world for
you and me.
