“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
\nWith conquering limbs astride from land to land;
\nHere at our sea washed , sunset gates shall stand
\nA mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
\nIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name
\nMother of Exiles. From her beacon hand
\nGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
\nThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.<\/p>\n
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
\nWith silent lips. “Give me your tired , your poor,
\nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
\nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
\nSend these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me,
\nI lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
\n Emma Lazarus.
\nIt’s about time we melted her down for scrap, don’t you
\nthink?, as it is quite clear she has come to stand for nothing in this country anymore.
