Description
"Keep out" - ink and oil pastels with a wash of mineral spirits on watercolor paper - 18 x 24My answer to my friend and fellow artist's art challenge - Ray Macon
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
― Emma Lazarus

I prefer to allow the viewers of my art to decide what is in them [usually ] - Rather than explain - so the answer is - if that is what you see, then it is

"Give me your tired
Give me your tired
Give me your poor
When our government acts like this
I wonder what World War II was for
And the rest of the country hates us more and more
Lady Liberty is not a whore"

It's from a song and I believe it is mocking politicians who are whoring out the "American" values that they claim to represent for whatever suits their fancy.

yes - unfortunately - not for the majority - but a surprisingly large minority of us seem to feel that way - enough so that we ended up with a joke of a president and will have 4 years of hell...

Oh yes, just shows how much apartheid and xenophobia where embeded with allot the English colonial settlers of the America's pre French & Indian War. History and Sociology are full of many unpleasant truths that make more sense when you pay attention to your surroundings. From Indian Raids, Operation Wetback, along with double standard immigration quotas of people not of NorthWestern European origins past and present. The history of the United States is closer to that of France, Israel, and pre Mandela South Africa over nations like Switzerland and Canada. Jefferson borrowed his classical liberalism from John Locke and Thomas Paine, The Iroquois had a communal form of governance that didn't rely on foreign exploitation like Athens. More 19th Irish immigrants in the United States took part in the exploitation of non white population through Indian raids and Jim Crow legislation than their Australian counterparts.

Yeah, that poem was made in a time that is similar to now only with less material abundance and the first generation of mass telecommunications beginning with the telegrams and speculator back Class I railroads lines of the US model. The abolishment of reconstruction, the suppression of the 1877 railroad strike though national militias, The Haymarket martyrs, the long abandonment of Lincolns debt free greenbacks in favor of a London gold standard full of many panics of monetary deflation whenever the speculation of a more national scale Wall Street as consequence of the 1864 National Banking Act went belly up from Lincolns assassination towards the late 1913 Federal Reserve treasury act taking away the responsibility of printing and controlling the rates the national currency away from the elected officials of congress and the Department of Treasury. That's a mouth full, and I know that writers like a young Upton Sinclair anf Jack London where men who wrote about the artificial scarcities of that time.
