As I Lay Dying
As I Lay Dying
I love to peer out across the Hudson‘s shimmering waves and see the Statue of Liberty's iconic gaze, but today's different, I'm amazed, it feels like the core values and constitution have been set ablaze as liberties start to fade, the Statue of Liberty wasn‘t standing to greet those arriving, as if she'd given America a final goodbye, and is absent with the torch of freedom held high, as we got closer we saw her sitting with her head down crying, she looked up and saw our curious faces and started testifying that this nation was falling apart and no longer the land of freedom which she was supposed to represent for every visible eye and face arriving, the foundation was crumbling as the world sat watching our nation committing suicide, on a path that would result in it’s colliding, reminiscent of the Gestapo as it was rising, the president's destroying fundamental values, and can’t stop lying, he can’t make it great again, but isn't even trying, Liberty's at a loss for words, like her nightmare's coming alive as the nation's breaking and dividing, she looks helpless, watching America bleed, wanting to assist but her hands are tied, assistance she can’t provide and her last words were, “ I guess it was good while it lasted, like the Adele song about the falling skies, except it’s the nation, as I lay dying .
