Liberty or License
©2018 Vernon Miles Kerr
She who stands sentinel at the gate of our land,
Constructed lovingly from steel, copper, mortar and sand,
So revered by Americans, Native and not,
Is only a symbol for the Angel of our better nature.
Unlike her image, trapped by the feet forever
The real Liberty knows no borders
And flows through the hearts of Earth’s humble,
