Welcome

Welcome? Send me your tired and poor Says the lady with the lamp A symbolic marker Of where to come camp Come to the land of the free We have much to offer Can’t you see? Stand in line For multiple freebies Don’t bother to work We have your back For us it’s common sense That we lack Enjoy the services That we provide For were too dumb to protest I must confide Use our laws against us For we are to weak To make a fuss Does anyone wonder Why we give so much? Our generosity Seems out of touch To leave your home And migrate here And demand we serve you You must revere We will help you succeed and thrive While our own struggle to survive Push aside the homeless There barely alive Perhaps I complain too much Maybe I’m the one Out of touch I have no desire To deny anyone a chance But our own come first! Is what we need to romance Anything left after that Will gladly be given To make you fat So, with a regrettable sigh Please pack your bags And say goodbye While we work to fix this lie That we are all equal in the land of the free Just as long as you pay me Eric (and sometimes not)
