The Song for the Statue of Liberty

    The Song for the Statue of Liberty

Sing out your foreign song.  Sing out your truth.

Sing out the way that you are different from

The rest.  Chant out from in your Succoth booth

Or from your monastery.  Let songs come

From pink brown Harlem lips.  Involve the whites,

Who think you’re foreign:  share your Yankee song.

Let Woman who loves Woman sing the heights

Of lust.  Man loving Man should sing of schlong

And masculinity of hair he licks

On hairy chests.  Let yellow coiffed with black

Above an Oriental eye transfix

With strange exotic notes.  Bring goodness back.

.. Make hatred alien.  Sing your new dawn

….As serenades from Mexico.  Sing on!
