The words: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...” are written in stone on the statue of liberty and will remain there for the ages!

With the current border debate and the children dying in US custody this hashtag is remind us that written on the statue of liberty is a poem by Emma Lazarus Titled “The New Colosus” while most of us know its most famous line the whole thing is WRITTEN IN STONE on it SO IT’ll LAST FOR AGES! “The New Colosus”- by Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
