A Statue Stands Tall
A Statue Stands Tall
From shadowed depths, a statue stands,
A symbol of our storied past,
A testament to those who shaped this land,
An ode to history that will always last.
Its marble face, etched with wisdom’s touch,
William Penn, a man of vision bold,
His presence offering wisdom, oh, so much,
A legacy to cherish, we are told.
The war on history waged with vehement scorn,
To tear down statues, silence ancient voices,
Yet the Biden Admin, with courage reborn,
Chooses to embrace, instead of destruction, choices.
For the past must not be erased or ignored,
In its triumphs and mistakes, lessons reside,
To mend the present, we must look toward
The stories etched in stone, with hearts open wide.
Penn’s statue shall stand tall, a beacon of pride,
A reminder of our shared collective tale,
History’s war can be won, if bravely we stride,
And honor those whose sacrifice will never fail.
