Statues Are Already Dead

Statues have no lives Statues are already dead A statue doesn't need a bed These days, racism thrives This is shameful and despicable Things are tough and unstable Down with the racist statues Paint them with rust and mildews Statues belong in museum Statues belong in the coliseum Statues are not alive Statues cannot be revived Statues that stand for hate and hatred Are grotesque, obsolete, and dead.
