happy birthday gitmo!

10 years now with 171
prisoners locked away---
out of sight &
out of mind for most people---
as 46 of these are held
indefinitely,
having no chance whatsoever at
justice,
89 have been approved for release.

89 prisoners in gitmo get to dance round
without their friends or family
knowing that they were supposed to be
out of there months ago &
for some, years ago---
still, they stay locked away.

remember when mr. hope & change told us all that
he would close the prison when he came into office?
ya think any of the repugnicans on the other side are going to
do any different?

ah, we are so lucky here in our great empire
to have our own little secret prison
our own little gulag
where nobody can watch what we do &
nobody can stop us---

and to think it’s all for our security as citizens---
it’s all to keep us safe from those that want us to
stop beating them, stealing their land & resources &
trying to make them become american.
