Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore - named for a white guy,

A greedy mining lawyer who

Helped as a "grab the land" ally

From long holding Lakota Sioux.

A sacred mountain was carved with

The faces of Presidents, four,

To hype the American myth

And bury truth behind folklore.

Within the tourist attraction

Be buried how powers that be

Allowed grave misdeeds to be done

In the name of land of the free.

Such crimes in stone in deceit cast -

The future will judge this sad past.
