Idea Of Liberty For All

This grand idea of Liberty for all, 
who seek to live outside the greed-hard wall, 
shall stand on wide shores of America 
with brave courage of Mother Onatah 
long after cruel tyrants like Midas fall 
so we prosper in shared Res Publica. 

Bright shining still on our storm-battered shore, 
clear lamp of freedom that lights every door, 
held high by bold hand of Democracy, 
our new colossus, Lady Liberty, 
shall guide our quest for truth forever more 
as we create life through fertility. 

When Emma holds my trauma-shaken hand 
that fascists oppress people of our land, 
she reminds me with blazing eyes of faith 
that conquerors like Midas, blind with wrath, 
will always fall when people dare to stand 
against cruel hate, and choose love as our path. 

Immortal spirit of Athena shines 
in Statue of Liberty hope designs, 
for though her justice seems to arrive late 
she will always stand at our sunset gate 
to guide refugees from prisoning mines 
so we can build new homes with hearty fate. 

People from every nation of the Earth, 
who leave nationalist states decayed from dearth 
of opportunities to work with pride, 
commit to principle oppressors hide 
that every human grows through sense of worth 
in Land of Liberty where laws abide. 

Though Helios had fallen long ago, 
shattered by failure of the power show, 
his daughter Liberty with Lamp of Truth 
lights the true way for our messiah sleuth 
to nurture every soul who wants to grow 
through urgent admiration of his ruth. 

When our shared world view seems to fall apart, 
because Midas hijacks the Market Cart 
by exploiting fear of the refugee 
who seeks opportunity to live free, 
Spirit of Freedom inhabits our heart 
as Liberty gives every soul her key. 

Tyrants come and go, drowned by tides of change, 
and empires rise and fall in temporal range, 
but Mother of Exiles, wise Liberty, 
forever rules our world democracy 
with justice for all souls, which may seem strange, 
to sustain our creative energy.
