Donald Trump's New Colossus

Donald Trump's New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, 

With angry people standing side to side from land to land; 

Here at our sea-washed, darkened gates of shame shall stand  a once mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is now doused by those greedy voices

She’s now imprisoned, and her liberty’s gone

Once Mother of Exiles no longer forlorn

Glows a world-wide "hell no" her now blinded eyes look down

The closed off harbor that frames injustice’s plight

Keep to your lands, this country is no longer your flight

With tightening lips. “Give me only your rich, we don’t take no poor.

Those huddled masses we don’t need any more

Keep those brown and black babies on your own damn shore

Send these, only the opulent, those bubbling with riches

Only then will the blinded lady open America’s golden door.
