Sense Sonnet - Steamer

The General Rejudged

General Robert E. Lee, where
Will your past hero status go?
So many accolades were there,
So many grand statues did show.
Yes, you did leave the U.S. to
Side with your loved Virginia state,
And in the Civil War fought, you
Led the South to a losing fate.
Your Arlington plantation had
Slaves before you did go to war.
Now times have turned to judge you bad,
And you've become hero no more.

It looks like now, General Lee,
You've lost the war of history.
