ARA's blog: "poetry"

Cracker Jack bureaucrats stand proud As those they serve scream loud, And freedom disappears under securities cloud They claim the government needs to snoop Your phone, your computer, her come the intelligence troops They seek to be inside every loop From terrorism they claim to protect us, And in the name of freedom they continue to press Soon we will no longer have a way to seek redress They want to know what you read They want to know what you speak They care not whose freedom they bleed And they believe we have become meek Under the banner of safety they push for more They seek a step by step constitutional repeal to the core An inch by inch shutting of freedoms door It's their own power they seek to feed And their own personal greed They precipitate this horrible misdeed They already are finding out what you read They already recruit those to tell them what you speak They are already planning on what next to feed I no longer smell freedom free, just a police state stink Yes I can see it coming The constitution is burning The people are swallowing propaganda Giving freedom for safety like its manna The darkness encroaches a little bit at a time Until you are too deep to realize how deep they have buried you in their grime
