Statue Of Lincoln Poem by Charles Garcia

Statue of Lincoln
Charles Garcia

Through my stone eyes I see
People looking up at me,
They all stare as if in awe,
The perfection, that of me,

As they look up, stare,
People mumble as in fear,
As deaf and blind to them,
I Appear.

Stone that I am, no flesh or bones,
Blind and deaf too!
A story to be told. Lincoln.

Here to remind all men that there is
Hope to survive, strive for perfection,
happiness, life, liberty.

If we follow the words of Lincoln.
From the heart be sincere.
“All men created equal”

I cannot see, I cannot hear,
as only a statue to remind,

I make my message clear,
Lincoln.
