Upon careful reflection, in light of
recent events,
Lady Liberty has rescinded her invitation.
Do not send your tired, your poor.
We have no room for masses.
We may accept
a few, eventually.
But, honestly, there’s enough refuse
here at home.
Our safety outweighs
your freedom, your huddled children.
You are not
our responsibility. After all, it is
better to be
safe, than sorry.
