Was It Worth the Price
Julian Assange
Jailed the other day- Julian Assange,
under arrest in London after years hiding, and
living in the London Embassy of Ecuador for seven years.
It all came with a cost- this Wikileak hacking thing . . .
Austrian born, intelligent and a big dreamer, he
now, faces extradition to the USA and could face life or death.
An advocate for freedom and transparency he claims,
secret documents and thousands of private emails leaked,
seems to me he wasted his life . . .
Assange was a good looking man once and now reduced to just old and sickly,
and for me he is no hero- for no one is above the law.
Nothing is more precious than freedom and he threw his away, just weak and
grey-haired now (Julian was it worth the price) but I read in the news
extradition to the US could take years and years . . .
