Stanley Cooper - A Wake-Up Call

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

Stanley Cooper
