They have a cross on a hill

They  have a cross on a hill

in Riverside, California.

From there 

you can see the cross

from all over the city.

Atheists tried

to have the cross

removed from city land,

and the city council

planned to give in to them.

Angry citizens

found out about the planned vote,

stormed the meeting

and spoke with passion,

and raised funds

to purchase

a small piece of land

that held the cross.

You can still

look up from all over the city

and see the cross.

They have had Easter

sunrise service there for over 100 years.
