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...

Able to manifest, and combine the forces of nature, striking unpredictably, anywhere, anytime across the globe, not heeding boarders, nor mans defences.
