My Friend

My Friend

The government is your friend,

Through thick and thin,

Letting all blame lie with Fargo, Stearns, and Lynch.

Don’t forget to thank Dodd and Frank  

When you’re in a pinch.

There’s no need to fear My Friend,

As he’s only doing what’s best.

For you, for me, and all who can’t rest,

Always demanding to contend.

Give him all the muscle,

And leave the blame on them.

Don’t worry, he’ll protect you,

Just don’t ask when.

He really doesn’t want your money,

Only his preemptive right.

So his drones can benefit our enemies

While our men die in his fight.

He’s in a league of his own.

Commanding full attention.

Forcing all to see

His hands outreached where they shouldn’t be.

Terrorists share your rights,

But only,

If on flights.

Go ahead,

Grope my personal space

It’s okay

As long as we both go home

As part of the human race.

They blew up my liberty,

They blew up my rights,

They blew up my hopes and dreams

With two big jets and an underwear bomb

It was their only means.

My government, my people,

What battles can we fight?

There’s one for life, one for liberty,

And one to get the words, just write.
