Question:
What do you guys think...?
Do you guys like this poem?
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It's on the statue of liberty
I personally think it's inspiring and makes me proud of America...and I'm not even really that patriotic

yes it is beautifully written- too bad that it is no longer our motto. Now we only want rich immigrants, and we certainly don't care about other people's freedoms.
