"Give me your tired your poor, \nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,\nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.\nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,\nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!" \n\n(From the Statue Of Liberty)\n\nThe only difference between them and your ancestors is a few hundred years.

http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Similie This is pretty straightforward.\n\nCheck out T.S. Eliot. http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html has some of his work.  My favorite is in the first stanza of "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock."

I agree that <http://www.100words.net/entry/read_member_batch.cfm?entry_member=Laura%20A%20Hill&entry_batch=November&entry_year=2003> is the only site that talks about this poem.  Don't try pinkmonkey.com and the other sites.  I couldn't find the poem comments in their results.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, \nWith conquering limbs astride from land to land; \nHere at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand \nA mighty woman with a torch, whose flame \nIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name \nMother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand \nGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command \nThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. \n"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she \nWith silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, \nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free, \nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore. \nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, \nI lift my lamp beside the golden door

A number of poems contain the word impiety and deal with nature and God.  Among them:\n\nJohn Donne's "Holy Sonnet XI" ( http://www.netpoets.com/classic/poems/022034.htm )\n\nShakespeare's "Sonnet 067: Ah, Wherefore With Infection Should He Live" ( http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/433 )\n\nPope's (rather long) "Essay on Man" ( http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/pope-e1.html )\n\nWigglesworth "A Prayer Unto Christ the Judge of the World" (from Day of Doom) ( http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/subjects/eaw/poems/wiggtext.htm )\n\nI would direct you to Wigglesworth first, as it sounds like it may be closest to what you're looking for.

Thinking about Bill, Dead of AIDS"\n\nby Miller Williams\n\nI really liked this poem because it makes I think the poet wants us all to feel how horrible it would be to have AIDS. At one point in the poem he says "thinking of friends afraid to shake your hand", I cannot even imagine what it would be like if one of my friends would refuse to touch my hand.\n\nAlthough this poem is really sad, it hits home a lot and makes us feel that we should feel sorry for people who get AIDS because of the amazing suffering they go through. It would be very tough. Now more than ever does this poem get it's point across. \n\nAnother thing I noticed about this poem is that how much the poet loved Bill. He says they had more, they would have given it to him. That shows that they gave all their love and effort and it could still not keep him alive. It is a very good poem and one we should all read and think about. i read this poem on the net its alright
