Rise of Liberty
Rising as from a sea of discontent,
strong arms of freedom won by dissent,
raise her above the common prattle
of those who treat people as chattel.
They look on, amazed, awaiting the fall
of the greatest country one can recall.
The Big Apple awaits the arrival of hosts.
Those seeking more than their country boasts.
Arriving alone, maybe two or three.
Eager to enjoy the fruits of liberty.
Immersed into the grand scheme of things.
Americans now, with rights as beings
