Leader of the Free World

How many times you Yankees shouted that

during the Cold War, giddily

worshipping your presidents

and what they supposedly embodied,

and now, my dear Americans,

with PRISM, with Boundless Informant,

your super-Stasi NSA,

it's clear that those who

had been following your leaders,

who were forced to do so

by our weakling governments,

were led to a cage

with glass walls

and the million employees of your sixteen secret services

are standing behind those walls,

repeating to you, their "fellow Americans"

that they are doing this

only to "foreigners", us.

Perhaps it hides the glass walls of your own cages.
