On Bradley Manning Poem by Francis Duggan

Bradley Manning a young person is in deep strife
He may be in jail for the rest of his life
For exposing the U S Government branch of national security for spying
A government who when speaking of free speech are obviously lying
On believing that Government intelligence spying on other Nations is morally wrong
Bradley Manning to a rare breed of people belong
To him to expose U S Intelligence of spying is morally right
The one seen by many as a traitor in reality not a lesser light
Than those who choose to judge him for what he did are
Though from the U S borders his fame has traveled far
But this of little use to him since he may die in jail
And his was hardly a fair trial since he was refused bail
For his courage and morality Bradley manning does pay
And this indeed does seem a sad thing to say.
