Andrew Crisci Poet Rhyme

The Excelsior

The Empire State Flag grandly depicts 
an azure background with Liberty and Justice standing on its sides:
two ladies guarding a lively landscape of hills with the Hudson River,
but what catches the curious eye is the white, curved up ribbon
displaying the imprint, " Excelsior " .
Look above, there stands the bold eagle!
Look inside, admire the brilliant sun!
Equality and fairness define its glory that makes nations tremble!
