Six years and going strong
since America perverted its own sense of justice and fairness
by maintaining a detention center in another country
and under the banner of freedom from terror
illegally detained American citizens and world citizens
exposing them heavily to torture
instead of legal representation and equal protection
perpetuating the fraud of spreading democracy
while holding people's lives in the balance
for indefinite periods
of time.

Dig: If Americans have (been told they have) certain unshakeable and important (inviolable) human rights, it is not because they are better than other humans! It is because someone in America thought of a right that should apply to a Person, were law to be designed to protect people.

Human rights and justice for people through the law.
That's somethin', ain't it? Compared to our history...

...that's fuckin' radical, even.
