I weep for thee,
Lady Liberty.
For your children,
Young and old.
For your soldiers,
Brave and bold.
I weep for the mothers
Fathers, sisters, brothers.
Torn apart from under your skirts.
I weep for the tired,
The hungry,
The desperate yearners,
No longer welcome
At these shores.
I weep for the numbered,
Their crimes those of existing.
Wanting better.
Working harder.
Dreamers all.
I weep for thee,
Lady Liberty.
