Miss Liberty has a lot to say today

31-07-2022

Welcome Welcome! One and all, to Me!
That’s right, I am You’re good “Old friend”
The statue of Liberty!

Give me your tiredness and your poor…
But don’t come HERE NO MORE!!
They are stopping you at the door.

The statue of Liberty! That’s me!
BOY! My feet are killing me!!
I haven’t sat in YEARS
And I have shed many tears, dear ones,
But fear not! As you can see,
I’m STILL standing here
Right where I’m supposed to be!

Hit a little in the middle of it here, MESS!
Trying REALLY not to stress..
It’s hard to keep it together with so many people
Walking up and down under my dress!
putting me to the test

I guess I’ll smile and
Do my best to keep the torch high
Looking towards Manhattan Island
Sometimes I just want to drop this torch in the water
and I start to cry/
Too many people fighting’ screaming’ and dying’
I’M NOT LYING!

Give me ONE plane ticket and
I will be a FLYER!
What I need is vacation
To be a symbol of the nation

So TIRED of riding this “freedom train”
When do we arrive at the station?
The place where we are FINALLY ONE NATION under GOD?
In a world full of atheists
THAT is going to be a little… hard.

Believing in GOD must be a MORE
Isn’t it written on your money somewhere?
IN GOD WE TRUST????!!!
LOOK! IT’S WRITTEN ON YOUR MONEY!
LOOK! IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR MONEY!!!!

You know… this isn’t even funny.

One more thing,
Let me tell you, darling…
Instead of just taking pictures of me
From the deck of the Staten Island Ferry
Why don’t you do me a favor?
go to your neighbor
And treat him happy?

I KNOW it’s not
Christmas Day, or any other public holiday,
But loving each other
It’s still good!
Don’t forget to PRAY!

On your knees is where you should stay
Then you will never stray.

AND HEY!…
I do not go anywhere.
I’ll be right here at ELLIS.
That’s it….
yes the mayor
It doesn’t sell us.
