Lost Meanings by Helena Frances
Controversy writing prompt entry

The words that were written:

"One nation
indivisible,
with liberty and justice
for all"

and

"Give me your tired,
your poor,
your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free,
tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp
beside the golden door!"


These are beautiful,
inclusive words,
now challenged,
still ideal
and hopeful
for tomorrow.


Writing Prompt
Write a poem that will "ruffel the readers feathers"

Author Notes

Our children's children will wonder how the meanings changed.
