Lament for My neighbour
from a Canadian

2018

Lady Liberty
Your light is burning low
Chilling winds blow across the land

The Eagle is troubled,
The skies are clouded with fear,
Values are lost in the fog.

The flag and the Bible are tangled and twisted,
Freedom and truth are weakened by divisiveness,
The health and freedom of the press is in decline.

The visions of the brave and the free are fading,
The voice of the poor is getting weaker,
Justice has a skin disease and is in retreat.

My neighbour
I am sad for you, for all of us,
The ripples of your dream, and also your troubles, spread far and wide.
