the air was cold

it was the weekend
the sky was clear
the air was cold
i read the news but the stories grew old
although one was wild
it really shocked
it seemed pure hate
about Muslims' no right to immigrate
to America
where the Statue
of Liberty
asks the tired and those wanting to be free
to start a new life
like those before
the Pilgrims and Puritans to this shore
and many others:
the good and bad,
the ugly, too;
i'd like to kick ass with my size 8 shoe.
