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!"
Emma Lazarus


The Statue of Liberty I say is a waste of talent for the people who made it because what I think it means, which is we should all be united and work together but that not what most people think it's for. Some think its for power to the United States and for all those to bow down but I dont think that's what its for or labeled as.

As far as the statue of liberty dealing with immigration, really what does it have to do with it? It is a statue that can't talk or move or do anything about immigration.

Is it hot or what??

Its getting hot in here so we need to cool it down... it is getting so hot we need to cool it down!! How do we cool it down....!! The polar bears and penguins are suffering... can they get some help? Can they, Can they get some help?
We can help them by doing what we can. Writing letters, or get our voice heard around the world and sea...!!!

Thank you.

I see both light and dark and I reach for both. All my life I stay still in this hole not moving a muscle. People step on me and grab me by the arms and as old as I am it gives me pain but I try and help every person that comes along. In my house people from all over town come in and use my house for whatever they need, and I let them because I can't do nothing to stop them. It seems like they use me... but I think it's just an apprecation for what I do for them, because if not for me they would not reach where they need to go, if not for me how would they get out of a sticky situation and if not for them I would of never been made. Thank you to people around the world for making me who I am.

Three Haiku's of the Sunrise

It is no longer night,the sun is rising... get up he is here now

Every sunrise is perfect, colors, colors, colors... It is perfect

Eyes are the way to the soul... is the sun the way to heaven... is it?
