snowden's lament

Post by saw » June 8th, 2016, 8:24 am

I wish all minds came
with a switch, a way to turn off
the inquisition, or at least
a volume control you could turn
down to the zero of peace

does consciousness
have constitutional rights
it's a fair question when you try to convince
me corporations are people
and citizens are united by immoral papers

so what say ye Infinite Justices
must I obey a five voice minimum
can you read my mind little brother,
'cause the big guy is already reading my e-mail,
my texts, listening to my heartbeats

as I fall asleep, and I'm getting this feeling
there in Intel inside my head, chips
from gaming tables planted below my scalp
'cause I have this new gambling addiction....
want to roll the dice with all my secrets

take away my privacy
you sick fucks,
steal the data you crave, voyeur-pervert
collect the moments of my breath and store them
in a building in Utah, but you will never get

my soul ....
you will never get
my earth
my wind
my fire
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
