The Gate

*************************************************

All the huddled, homeless, masses

gathered at the gate

yearning to breathe free, to be

the one to change their fate.

*************************************************

As indigenous Americans

can we rightfully deny them?

Should natives of the Americas

be begging for asylum?

When the white man, as invaders,

by mere presence, claimed command;

enslaving sovereign people

and stealing native’s land?

So that’s why their descendants

turn their backs on homeless souls

don’t want long lost survivors

reclaiming what they stole.

The words etched on our Liberty,

now many hate to read

should say to them don’t let the gate

hit you as you leave.

But, Liberty loves everyone

Her heart is always hoping,

She would never lock them out

Her gate is always open.❤️
