Mount Rushmore Poem by Ima Ryma

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.
