The New Colossus

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

These famous words of Emma Lazarus have been shamed by the acts of the American people and it's government in years of injustices, prejudices, racism, and pure hatred.

Our country no longer deserves this poem of open arms to a land free of persecution and hate, free for the tired, weak, poor, and different. Our country no longer deserves the light shone on us by a towering image of a picturesque society. In it's place has now is this prose of corporate america. In place of the symbol of freedom, now stands the only symbol our leaders deserve.
