A sign in front of Liberty of Statue
'New Colossus closed for renovation
Can not accept the tired and desolate,
Hungry and homeless beaten by fate.
Date of opening to be announced soon! '

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by reading about Greek Colossus, poem 'New Colossus' and recent refugee issues. Though I am stung by my own thought yet have confidence in high ideals of this great country.

'The statue of Liberty' refusing to accept 'The wretched refuse of the world' presents a stinging satire on the Big Brothers of the world today. A bold commentary.

Very well said, possibly the Colossus also cannot digest anymore, the ugly behavior, atrocities and the enmity of this present society. That's why declared a closure.
