On Robert Lee Frost named after southern confederate hero General Robert E. Lee

Can he survive his name when statues fell,
When any mention of the Southern man
Leads to the riots in the country torn
By BLM and Left - they want no terms
Of these old days (no matter they are past, but not forgotten)
Survive and tell the story, which was rotten.
They have no other games but the game of shame
Where every white of now to be blamed
Because (no other reason need to be)
You white - from owners of the slaves, or could have been.
“You have your white success - 
Suppressing us”, can he survive, with the name he has, this test?
Can poetry of simple work that lead
To findings that the movement of the scythe,
Its love of grass and love with orchid flower,
Lead to the truth beyond the simple color
Of skin?  Could work of love be reached by anyone,
These lines of poetry - the way for a man to run
His life, to live and let live, and define - the soul, the self…?
Or even memory of him should die
Because the name he has received at birth
Is - Robert Lee…, or shorter,  Robert Frost.
