Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Statue destruction is an indicator.

Red Herring

by howard11

Cancel culture rants, 'Statues go'
Loud spray paint marks me next to fall
Toppled icon must lead news show,
Mindless bullies dumbly raze all

Chiseled face makes thud on stomped ground
Decapitated, 'Take your bow'
Proud pack members whoop primal sound,
Squawking zealots push on for now

My chipped nose senses nearby fire
Buildings aflame, 'Dreams up in smoke'
Crowd cheers city's funeral pyre,
Such acts recall Mao's brutal choke.



Rhyming Poem contest entry


Mao, "Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent."
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
