Good Mount Rushmore

The real one, the Mount Rushmore of the good American mind,
which does not trespass lands of the Sioux,

Beams bright with the likeness of good John Lewis,
the likes of whom America has no right to expect to see again,

Whom Americans fail to emulate at their peril.
Godspeed John Lewis, good rest is your’s; good trouble, our’s.
