Anthony Blake Poet Free verse

STATUE OF LIBERTY BOW OUT

Let me get out of New York
Bags are packed
Deportation fact
It’s time to leave
People of New York, don’t be deceived
I stood for come and all
It now is no more
Leaving the New York City shore
Enough is enough for sure
Getting out while I can
If I was deported, I would probably be sent to France
Fat chance
Hudson River is my escape to my own new world
History was
The Statue that was of the people
Constitution said
Fulfilled for years
Bags, we got a journey
The statue will now be cut down to a skeleton
Quickly leaving town
People beware
Embrace one another with care
It’s freedom for me
I can’t wait and see
Run Ms. Liberty Run.

Lin Lane February 20, 2025 at 7:26 AM I think she'd be better served if she stood even taller with the help of those Americans who still believe in "We the People." She needs the support of all those who recognize what she stands for and oust those who dare to continue pointing fingers at the innocent.
