The Golden Door Is Closed

A new sign is now posted on Liberty Island
for all approaching by boat.

Attention All Tired, Poor and Homeless,
all yearning to be free.
You are not welcome.
Return to the teaming shore from
which you came.
The lamp is out.
The golden door is closed.

Miss Liberty’s head is bowed.
Her eyes are closed.
It is too painful to look upon the
faces of the rejected.

One thought on “The Golden Door Is Closed

  1. This is so very sad, but seems to be currently true. My hope and prayers are that change will come soon. When fear of the other rules, we, as a people and a nation, become less than we can be. And that is a tragedy.
    Thank you for sharing these thoughts in such a beautifully creative way.
