The New Colossus-2

The New Colossus-2 Not like that loser green chick with the lamp, Our New Colossus has his own gold door, Behind it he tweets out his grand revamp: Abjuring that which made it great before, He seeks to make his country great again. This brazen giant, air-bridged between the ears, His beacon-hair glowing world-wide disdain, Maskless, manipulates his base’s fears. And with hogwash’d conspiracies defames. Promising immigration a la carte This….Mother, sullen-toddler eyed, proclaims: “Send me Norwegians, cuz they are, like, smart. Send me your Brits (no, hold on, better not!) Send me some Russians—those are useful guys— Totally Czechs and Slovenes, if they’re hot. But do not send me those I do not prize. We don’t do huddled masses any more. Just keep them if they’re homeless, wretched, black— The a**-hole refuse of your s***-hole shore. Send those, I’ll send them, tempest-tost, right back.” “And tweet me not of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emm Lazarus or Martin Luther King. I’m the least racist guy you’ll ever know. Those losers now don’t mean a goddam thing. Abe Lincoln’s overrated, by the way, The Gettysburg Address was way too long, In seven-score characters I do OK-- OK? No, great! (So says my friend Kim Jong). Abe was a loser. “Captain my Captain”? Please! I prefer presidents who don’t get shot. FDR, JFK and jerks like these, The Rushmore crowd—I’m all that they are not. “Government of, by, for...”! “What you can do..”! “I cannot tell a lie, I chopped it down”! “Nothing to fear but fear itself”! So who Believes this crap? I’m not just any clown. By fair means or by foul I’ll win the race. My bigliness by fate has been decreed. Don’t wave the Constitution in my face: Amendment No.2 is all I need.” For the inspiration--the Emma Lazarus poem on the pedestal of New York's Statue of Liberty--see https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46550/the-new-colossus
