Liberty

Oh say can you see how beautiful she truly is paved with gold that I never could find  holding destiny manifested in her skin tones spreading across soil and stopping only when it reaches boarders, I can’t help but to see how she carries the blemishes of poverty, arms open ready to embrace the ones that are full of bravery or maybe it’s just bravado I near could tell looking in to her eyes that were supposedly color blind why else would she mix the melting pot yet reject the ingredients proved by the minority she seems to listen to the voices of those shrouded in sheets. She has freedom on the broach of her necklace that hangs just be on reach. Her heart beat remind me of august 1945 when Hiroshima was force catch a little boy from Manhattan and Nagasaki was crushed by the weight of a fat man but this all to be expected after all it her who was forced to learn the language of the rising sun so she would fully understand the definition of divine wind which is why she never forgets about pearl harbor. She sits never looking like she is supposed to breaking promises that we foolishly still believe in I think Langston Hughes was right about her yet my body tenses up in anger when I hear people speak her name in negative tone I guess I can’t help but to love her she’s all I know I find myself cracking jokes in her honor  in hopes of breaking the desperation that I was told she was in but smiles only arrive on her face when her favorite color is involved green I find it funny that hundreds years of service could never but people like me in your good graces but still to Mr. Gravy I respectfully disagree going to a motherland in which I never met isn’t the answer that I’ve been looking for I could never lose feelings for her it all came to be the moment I witness tragedy right before I was shocked by what looked like paradise it was the eleventh day of the ninth month when her  twins fell victim of violence feeling the burning embers of what felt like hell that burn the insides of  survivor’s hearts and just for a moment  I saw what looked like unity as she lady liberty finally took the appearance of what I she should always look like a home.
