Justified Suicide
There is a Guantanamo Bay like facility,
that has a bed with my name on it guaranteed,
along with 1 million natural born americans in and outside my country.
We are all on the government watch list and we are all indeed guilty,
of exercising our inalienable right to freedom of speech.
Somewhere along the way that became terrorist activity,
at least that's what The Patriot Act has led everyone to believe.
If the rest of my life is to be spent in such an environment
where enhanced interrogation is practiced like some sort of religion,
and where I'd be subject to any kind of horrid experimentation,
you better believe that I will kill myself at the first opportune moment.
Sometimes suicide is the only option,
and in such a scenario like the above warrants justification.
