Array ( [sid] => 101285 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lady Liberty Bell [time] => 2005-07-15 17:00:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Hit the nail on its head
Pin point the exact location
Where the missiles landed instead
Where the bombs missed their mark
And left in their wake
A revolutionary spark

Cremate the sailor’s ash overboard
Annunciate the phonetic syllabus
Which corroborates his name’s worth
In essence giving back hope, to the cramped hole in the earth
Giving back the gratitude of which he never heard

Newcomers to this land
Dreams filled with demands
Expectations of legalized contraband
From cigars to the weeds that stoned man

Circumstantial correspondence
Where voices interrupt
A chaos of chatter and noise erupts
The build up
Up to this point
Has been cumbersome
A lonesome force
Pledged resolve
Justice must take its proper course

A wine import
From the vineyards
Aged to perfection through many winters
Now sits shattered
Ruined by the debris showered
By the sea and the mayflower
In the winds of the fleeting hour
A pilgrimage to the finest shores
To lady liberty
Give us your weak, hungry and poor

Do you think that possibly that is why the crack is in the Liberty bell? Maybe we let too many foreigners in and the pressure was too much. Lady Liberty still stands tall in the bay and shall hopefully till my dying day. I think though we first need to, take care of our own before others come through.
