Fear and guilt implied
You provoked a scene
Now the world has lied
To deny what’s been
Guilty conscience herd
Legislation late
Undermining words
We’d all love to hate
Did you really think
With the box in hand
No one snuck a peek
In the whole damn land?
Were we so naive
Docile and secure
That we disbelieve
All the things he saw?
Now the whistle blown
Plays a waiting game
As he’s hunted down
For exposing shame
And our lives go on
At the same slow pace
While we log each bomb
Lobbed in cyberspace
