Sleepers, awake!

As the things in the whitehouse seem intent on setting up the already overstretched and underachieving armed services of America for a war on Iran, I would like to send a message to those who are standing by and letting this happen. The ones who let themselves be stampeded by such utter drivel as the patriot act (you, who should recall what Johnson had to say about 'patriotism'). The ones who allowed the writ of habeus corpus to be removed from the legislation.

While your conscience, cowed, was sleeping,
something through your house came creeping.

Now, can you hear the silence?
