would that she could free men
from their chains
that they may flourish
if only
in the process

she walked on fire for us
and led the lambs
to bleed
upon those foreign altars

for her joy began as freedom
purchased for a price
with blood and innocence

as the ages fade
she writhes
in rust
and shudders
as we shrink from justice

when she has gone
we shall want
for contracts of independence
which are binding
before idols and false gods

she is Liberty
she is our America

"Who knows if to live is to be dead, and to be dead, to live? And we really, it may be, are dead; in fact I once heard sages say that we are now dead,

to see her writhe hurts
