         Even now - Ever then - As tier, they -
         to yarn yet so distant over horizons grey
         like appetency colors in its final shade;

     
            High the accolade     
            yet frock, her callow
            gait and wore such
            promise, now a rusted feign
            and temptress wroth to frown
            Lest standing new in hate adorned
            was freedom torn and latter remains.
           Paler faces than her glower
           attrition like eternal scorn 
           and all abrased, mourned too
           The American dream when they
           raced to her promise risen like a beacon of glory,              
but only a dream.
         
           A scepter,
           brazen' oust the light last dorn
           Unveiling,
     
           now temperance naked.
           

          Posture mettled
          above the waves.

                     
On November 8, 2016 - a day when bigotry and hate aged over such American Beauty. Those who once flocked to see her splendor glory, now watch the old dream fade and in better days longed.
