Apologies to Emma Lazarus
The "New" Colosuss
Not like the former giant of US fame,
With welcoming limbs shining a light for all to see;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A fascist thug with a truncheon, whose hatred
Is the refuge of the uneducated , and their name
MAGA.

The "New" Colosuss
Show world-wide disdain; their wild eyes focused on their fears
Where anyone different deserves to be broken.
"Keep, ancient lands, your stories of Freedom!" cries they
With silent lips.
Your soulless corporations yearning for markets regulation free,
The wretched refuse who deny science.
Send these, the shameless, the exploitative to me,
I lift my truncheon to keep away the poors!”
