Stay Free My Friends



Stay Free My Friends

Here we be
land of the free

high ideals of
democracy


rights of man
not to be abused


except when we
panic


and become

our own enemy

Patriot Act
wire taps

not PATRIOTIC
at all

  1. I love this.. I wonder if the recent 'decisions' on Syria inspired it.
    Democracy has been stained with so many negative aspects, I for one don't think there can ever be democracy anywhere..

    I love the ending:

    "Patriot Act
    wire taps

    not PATRIOTIC
    at all"

  2. The Patriot Act was a set of laws enacted in the USA as a reaction to the World Trade Center attack which gave the government more authority to monitor private conversation and spy on American citizens in an attempt to thwart future terrorist attacks. My country has never recovered from that attack because we not only lost so many lives when the buildings crumbled down on that terrible day, we lost our soul and faith in our democratic traditions
    of personal freedom.. We are sliding off the road to becoming the enemy we hate
