The Statue of Misery [1]

Do not come to my shores
They are not safe for you anymore
You will find no help here
You will only find fear
You who seek safety and security
You who are weak, poor, tired and weary
My shores are no longer safe for thee
They have traps to drain the blood of thee
Do not come to my shores
You’re not welcome anymore
There’s no dream for you here
Hate has taken hold here
You who have traveled for miles
You who have bled your feet dry
Turn back, go elsewhere, anywhere
This way the dream is now a nightmare
Do not come to my shores
You’re not welcome anymore
Do not come to my shores
They are not safe anymore
They will reap your children from your breasts
Sink razors sharp blades deep in your flesh
They will put your children in cages
Laugh as you weep in futile rage
Heed my warnings refugee
I am the Statue of Liberty
Do not come to the land of the free
There is no freedom, not even for me
