Annoy.com Exhibition: Ms. Liberty

The New Missus

Not like the limp wristed of Italian fame,
with cowering limbs effeminate from toe to hand;
Here at our blood-soaked, dark gates shall stand
a fleshless killing machine with a weapon
whose discharge is incarcerated thunder, and her name
MotherFucker. From her cold, dead fingers
Screeches isolationist disdain, her lifeless eyes dictate
The polluted harbor
over whom twin cities loathe and litigate.
"Vomit from your ancient lands your rotting wealth!"
sneers she
with grit-clenched teeth. "Yoke your diseased, your
frail,
Your sickly masses choking to breathe Ours free,
The stinking diversity of your tainted shores.
Bring only, the rich, pure, pharmaceutically virgined to me,
I pack my heat behind the impenetrable door!"
