Ate We Sleeping Well?

Quote from RAND PAUL speech.

We will not trade liberty for security. Are you willing to let government treat us all as presumptive criminals in the quest to fight terrorism?

ARE WE SLEEPING WELL?

Aren't we safe within our cells?

Are we happy in our security?

Is it best now that our freedom fell

To a government's superiority?

We walk the streets in fear of our own

Our poor desperate for a crumb of bread

Where is our defense, we have no guns?

We leave our homes with dread

We are poorer now in equality

The quest for more is moot

We surrendered our cherished liberty

To be the scrum beneath their boot

We are all presumed as criminals

As from terror they claim to protect us

But freedom for us is minimal

And there is no one who will respect us

Listen to our phone calls

Read everything we write

Regulate us one and all

So we might sleep at night

We bargained for a life of security

And live safely in our cell

Tucked away in mere obscurity

But are we sleeping well?
