above the law

the CEO of Qwest did prison time
because the feds demurred to enter bids
what had been worth a buck's now worth a dime
and prosecutors argued quo pro quid
the other Telecomms got off Scot free
collaborating with the NSA
to violate our Rights and Liberty
while their competitor was made to pay
the Holder DoJ gave them a pass
invoking Secrets of the (secret) State
as if the Fourth Amendment's cool with mass-
surveillance of us in a time of hate
Obama flip-flopped right before our eyes
surrendering the office keys to spies
