(News: A top US immigration official has revised a quote inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in defense of a new policy that denies food aid to legal migrants. So we have a sonnet and a new title to celebrate it:-benny)
Lancet Anyone?
Not like the suntann’d squire of golf links
With executive rights whining from coast to coast:
Here at last foul mouthed, maniacal boast,
He reveals his true self and his links
To white supremacists Aryans and such kinks-
Tossed from tree mired in dirt ‘n ground frost:
Liberty shall no more be commended
Nor its strength restor’d, not until truth sinks:
Liberty for few is bondage for the whole,
Soul of nation so shall in shame suffer.
Show me what good has done for your soul
Than set the basest of the base to revere
And your vaunted freedom worse than a boil
Fouling and dragging down the body entire.
Benny
