A Statue of Liberty
March 15, 2015
You gave up, you've given up.
A Renaissance piece that has dried up.
A point of acceptance, lossof emotion,
cold and bitter, forgotten about you are.
No reason to look when your eyes are bloodshot.
You've put yourself on display as a showcase,
to those who have given an arm and traded a leg,
denied by the lords, forced to beg
Not worthy of marbel, but you ran with a medal,
as they turned you in to stone.
