A Wake-Up Call Poem by Stanley Cooper

A Wake-Up Call

Rating: 5.0


The Writ Of Habeus Corpus, we have no more
This Bush Administration kicked it out the door
One more put down of our Bill Of Rights
When will our citizens wake up and see the light? ! ! !

So called patriots sporting lapelled flags
Are nothing more than political scallywags
True patriots like old Thomas Paine
To question those in power was his domain

A complacent citizenry unaware-of
Dilution of our rights, we must beware-of
Informed citizens must fight and persevere
To maintain our fragile freedoms held so dear

Haveus a corpus? Like, after the waterboarding goes awry, and we're left with just a dead guy? -chuck

You have expressed many other opinion about how our right are slowly but surely being taken away from us if we do not stand up and fight for our rights. Scott
