The New Colossus
" Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Erasmus.
Not any more, it isn't. Ya gotta spik de English, Noo Yoik Style. I told you
the United States Empire was going into decline...just like the Colossus no
longer stands over the Greek Empire, which also no longer exists. Slowly but
surely getting chipped away.
The edifice is crumbling...Wait for it...A new modernisation Project, bring it
up to date...A Trump Tower on Liberty Island to replace the present edifice
perhaps...:-). And a Mara A Lago type, golf complex on Ellis Island...
The UK is no longer an Empire either, and it now has a requirement of speaking
English to a coherent standard. Trump following the kingdom of his
mother...:-)
