E. K. Benjamin Poet Free verse

Ask Not

we must have forgotten...
the pyramid's foundation, rotten.
Physiological begets Safety.
shadowing the State of coercion, states thee.
opt-in by creation, opt-out, your expiration.
tread on me and my countrymen.
volition ours, to sunder friends?
participated.  
regulated.  
complied.
the time, overdue.
ask not what your country can do for you.
