Summer Is Getting Hotter

This summer breeze has never been so hot.

It seems everyone's in a tight knot.

There seems to be a question of what the rioting street children have been taught?

Is there no value to toppled statues or not?

It leaves many minds to wander and ponder, were we wrong in making statues of men or not?

And can even a Republican President Lincoln that took a bullet in the head for the emancipation of 4 million slaves, survive a summer of hate or not?

Since we've also already forgotten the 750,000 men that died during the Civil War, not including the civilians per a poet's thought.

Not to mention, Mount Rushmore where granite sculptured statues of four previous United States presidents will survive the new targeted hot temperament or not?
