O Lady Liberty

you cast your light to a stormy sea

you offer visions of a golden

rainbow for all to see



you offer hopes of freedom and prosperity

to the world but they are blinded and can not see

that this vision that you offer comes at a cost and is not free

You offer entry to a land of poverty





Freedom and justice are only for those who can afford to pay

You don’t mention that this is the American way.





Our flag used to have integrity

but is now only a tattered remnant of what it used to be.





Our ill sleep in the streets with clothes that are tattered and torn

You turn your head in Self-righteous contempt and scorn





Turn off your light and let darkness rule the day





There is no Land of Liberty left here today
