That
Which was Mandatory is Now Forbidden
Let no images
Be hung with
Caesar’s trophies
-Flavius in Julius Caesar I.i.73-74
Now hidden are the statues of
Cesar Chavez
His name, his fame, once
celebrated everywhere
Were furtively cleansed in the
dark of night
Lest any of his works live after
him
He is closeted now in the
basement of some museum
Playing poker with Abraham
Lincoln and Columbus
While Mother Theresa and Winston
Churchill
Exchange Shakespearean bon
mots
The famous of the past are
irrelevant, you see
Because
No one is as perfect as you and
me
(Takeaway –
from year to year I understand less and less)
