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)
