Edward Snowden

Snowden Limericks

The Oath

All government employees are required to vow to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the fourth amendment of which reads: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Though Ed laid bare his institution
And Barack demands full prosecution
It must too be told:
They’d both sworn to uphold
The fourth right in that great constitution.

The CCC

“He did it for personal gain
And merits no praise” they maintain:
“He’s no whistle blower
And couldn’t sink lower”
— the Corruption Concealment Campaign.

Government Doesn’t Function as intended in a Surveillance State

If your honor lets Sprint and Yahoo
report daily on all that we do
It’s assuredly not
ill conceived to ask “What
Does the GCHQ have on you?”
