The Great Wall By a Left Wing Loon

Instead of defending my liberties, I just sat on my country's great wall
designed to protect me from the terrorists enemy that threatens us one and all,
but this great wall was a fraud. 
It wasn't the protection we thought
and like the Twin Towers, it crumbled and crushed us all.
Everything systematically, eventually, inevitably and unfortunately came to fall.
All of a sudden, all was gone. No more Liberty And Justice For All.
Now my every waking day is always surveyed and governed under martial law.
