our monumental history  
maintains an air of mystery  
but painted with a modern brush  
it makes one wonder, at first blush  
what's to be done if every shrine  
repainted with a certain whine  
is disassembled, brick by brick  
back, as it where, to rock and stick  
and if our cultural debate  
akin to children, on our plate  
we separate the different foods  
based on our colors and our moods  
what's to be done so we regain  
a sense of what was right and plain  
we've lost our will, our will to teach  
some days it feels so out of reach
