Happy Anniversary Bill of Rights
If you're now ever suspected by our present day government
of being a terrorist or sympathizing enemy combatant,
you can now be detained indefinitely,
under our president's authority.
No more rights securing our papers and property
from any government sponsored search and seize.
A warrant our government no longer needs.
Forces can now break down our doors anytime freely
and search and seize our property
and then at their discretion, detain us indefinitely.
No rights to prevention of enhanced interrogation,
otherwise known as cruel and unusual punishment.
No rights to a trial, no rights to an attorney,
no rights to information as to your locality
need be given to you or any of your friends and family,
and if you should get lucky and one day be released
because you were innocent and not guilty,
your accusers will have absolutely no accountability.
In the year of 2011 on the day of December 15th,
the National Defense Authorization Act was passed with a vote of 86 - 13.
