  • RIVERWOODS POEMS: OUR LADY

    Our Lady of Liberty, cover your eyes.

    Your huddled masses do not breathe free.

    They cower in cells, they molder in sties.

    Of liberty this is a mockery.

    Our Lady of Liberty, cover your ears.

    Terrified children torn from families

    Are not what you would have wanted to hear.

    What justifies these atrocities?

    Our Lady of Liberty, what has become

    Of our founding fathers’ noble ideals?

    We can no longer be rightly known

    As the home of the brave and the land of the free.

    These are the evils of slavery

    Enforced by the power of tyranny.
