Monumental Madness

In an open market of
Eclectic tastes and
Diverse interests,

Cultural appropriation
Bespeaks communal
Preservation:

A public record keeping
Of value(s), a casual if
Not robust knowledge;
Awareness appeasement
Varying by veracity;

A distributed social power
Grab--amenable progress
For an inclusive heritage;
Mood significance; the
Space/time epitome for
Identity extension;

A mutual tribute of being
There way back in the
Historical present.

The resolution resides
In championing episodic
Memory, in memoriam,
In a rallying cry.
