Love Looking at Statue of Liberty
Small group of people in boat were huddled,
Later to be masses that together cuddled;
Another poet wrote about a golden door,
Opening letting you land on our shore.
Bright ray of light lifted high into the sky;
She watched us as we would pass by,
Needing much help and to be cared for;
People all kept coming score by score.
Found a home and are safe and sound;
They knew that God was always around;
And around her a safe harbor did adorn;
Place where in peace they can be born.
Jim Horn
Huddled Masses
on a bus
the closeness of fear
traces life’s boundaries.

Huddled stones
listen
gurgling waters
tell tales
where
they’ve been
share dreams
where
they
may go.

The huddled masses
They came here
from war and starvation
to seek
freedom from religion
and ethnic
disharmony.
But some came
to sow
unrest
turn time back
to the
period of war
murder
and
no freedom of speech

Hand
in hand
they weathered
the perils of
life-
their
future
uncertain
in a far off
land.
