Three Days of Curfew
On the first day of curfew, I defiantly walked the streets,
but was soon escorted back home by my local police.
On the second day of curfew I walked the streets again as well,
but spent the rest of the evening locked up in a holding cell.
On the third day of curfew I sat in front of my building all night,
until a squad car arrived and told me to get inside.
I had hoped that many more would have joined me,
but everyone is so afraid to stand up to authority.
Defiant to the end I will always be,
when it comes to preserving our freedom and civil liberties,
but for all of my efforts, I will most likely,
end up at some Guantanamo Bay like facility.
