“We don’t want em!” That’s what he said, He’d rather grab what’s between her legs, He has no idea what she is worth, To him, She’s just another skirt, But she is beacon that shines in the night, You can’t fold her arms or dim her light, She welcomes all without a sound, Silent lips and heavy crown, Colossus over land and sea She bids them all, “Come to me” It’s sad, He has no idea…… Has he? I think he’d even call her “Nasty” ©B L Costello 2017 “With silent lips, “Give me your tired, you’re poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” (Emma Lazarus "THE NEW COLOSSUS")
