The Patriot Act

Shari O'Brien


It's not the American way
to protest and complain.
True Patriots never dissent,
for the government always knows best.

Perpetual; surveillance,
Protection through detection;
Those unblinking, covert federal eyes
Even scan your library files.

Screw the rules of due process;
To hell with privacy, too.
The Bill of Rights is an antique,
And liberty is not obsolete.

Thanks to the Patriot Act
The terrorists won't succeed,
And though we're not free, by God we're safe,
Here in our nice snug police state.
