Empty Engravings
I would like to think that the words:
“ Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”
are not just empty engravings on a monument that was supposed to stand as our creed.

Suppression does not wipe out existence.
Diversity is a beautiful thing that values the individual.
Amongst the weary footprints of generations before us
we press fresh footprints
