The Statue of Liberty represents America's independence from Great Britain and will always be relevant. I think you mean The New Colossus, a poem written to raise money for a new pedestal and then placed on the pedestal nearly 20 years later. That probably should be retired as it is now a sentiment no nation can afford.
