Very well-done sir.
Yes, it's a shame the younger generation doesn't quite understand what they are giving up.
I think your poem is well written and conveys a good message.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you, Gee. All the best, Yard.
Comment from Sankey
Well done, Bro. What a great poem you have penned, here. It says so much and brings out so much truth about how man has degenerated and "lost the plot!" No spags.

Thank you so much, Sankey. I wish I didn't have to write it. Yard
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is very beautiful and very moving. You are right, we don't think enough of what it has taken to make our nation. We pull it apart into reds and blues and still call it liberty.

Thank you for sharing this poem. I am 100% positive Lady Liberty as are our forefathers extremely upset. You might as well include all the men and women of past and present who have gone to war for our freedom that is now being thrown away. I don't understand how relativity intelligent people cannot see what happening right in front of him and still support these people in charge of our government.

I know. People have become lazy and glutinous. There is no need for a sense of accomplishment through work and very few know what tools are and how to use them. Sad to say, I think it's going to take a drought of finances and or weather to turn people around. Thanks for the review.
Comment from Judy Lawless
You've captured the thoughts I often have when I see pictures of the Statue of Liberty and wonder these days why she's even there. Her message seems to be a lie. Well written, Yard.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Amen! There are movements in our country but they are all going backwards. Morals and common sense forgotten. And I'm not one who preaches common sense, because for the most part, common sense is just the culmination of all the idiot prejudices that we've acquired before the age of eighteen by followers who have passed them down. Open your eyes and be a "thinker" for yourselves America!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Donated by the French who know all about liberty and have fought for it for years and this gift was inspired by the alliances of freedom and the sacrifices we make to be able to express ourselves freely. It seems that America has lost its way of late and has leaned more to the left than I have ever known it. As one of the super powers in the world, we need American to stay politically safe and not to succumbed to communism. There is a real fear that the unrest could cause big changes and I just hope the people will stay focused and know what they must do to keep their democracy healthy. A fine write and I heard your words here, love Dolly x

Comment from Susan Newell
Yard,
Sorry I'm out of sixes. Something like 20 years ago there was a study done that showed that something like 55% of Americans didn't know what the Bill of Rights is. My thought then was, "How can people be expended to defend rights they don't even know they have?" I'm afraid it has gotten far worse since then. So it is left to us, who know and value Liberty, to defend and fight for her. I'm looking forward to the opening of Trump's new platform, being built by Devin Nunez and due for opening in months. YouTube took down a Rand Paul interview because he said we need to weigh the risks when thinking about mandating vaccines for children and toddlers. God save America!

Comment from Pantygynt
As an Englishman, the Statue of Liberty has always been more than just the emblem of the United States of America she has been the United States of America in much the same way as Big Ben's tower is England. I liked the way the last stanza almost repeats the first - until the last line.

Hello Yardier a wonderful Wednesday to you, I hope this finds you well. I really enjoyed your poem the rhymes and flow are good and the message on point. My Favorite Stanza:
Why have they forsaken her,
in this dark hour of need?
Why have they become eager,
to trade Liberty for greed?
great job!
