The touch is being extinguished by those occupying our Capitol. They are claiming it is to save energy in order to stop global warming. I am afraid our grandchildren will ask one day.. "What is that statue in the harbor?" Someone will answer.."The Statue of Liberty." They will ask again, "What is Liberty?" " "I guess it was her name whoever she was."

Lin this is a wonderful poem of voice speaking as if Mother Liberty herself were expressing her feelings...

So nervous now that all we've had in the past is being lost, and also thankful that I was part of America's last innocent generation. Too bad future generatins, along with today's present generation will never know America as we knew it.

Well we have sort of slipped off track in past couple of hundred years but the beacon is still working. The flow of your passages within the constraints of 7 letters is fantastic and profound. Very well done. Patrick
