Upon viewing the linked video detailing the actions of the NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowdon, I was inspired to compose the following poem in response to the interviewee’s closing statment.
`Turnkey Tyranny’
What is the price willingly paid
When freedom and liberty is stolen away?
By forces that impose their sanctioned goals,
Regardless of the broader public price toll.
Incipient, insidious government surveillance policy
Contrived to impede malicious terrorist atrocity
Purchased by acquiescent public consent
Propagandized as injury or loss to life, to prevent
As new generations become calloused to the intrusion
The greater will be `Big Brother’ policy infusion
Global society made impotent through complacency
To potential One World Government’s `turnkey tyranny’.
